President Barack Obama, through a statement posted Wednesday night on the White House website by adviser Valerie Jarrett, backed legislation that would ban parents from having their children counseled not to be what Jarrett called "LGBTQ+".
“As part of our dedication to protecting America’s youth, this Administration supports efforts to ban the use of conversion therapy for minors,” Jarrett said in the White House statement.
“Conversion therapy generally refers to any practices by mental health providers that seek to change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity,” said the statement. “Often, this practice is used on minors, who lack the legal authority to make their own medical and mental health decisions. We share your concern about its potentially devastating effects on the lives of transgender as well as gay, lesbian, bisexual, and queer youth.”
Jarrett conceded in her statement that an act of Congress would be needed to pass a national law that prohibited parents from having their children be counselled to be heterosexual rather than what she called “LGBTQ+."
“While a national ban would require congressional action, we are hopeful that the clarity of the evidence combined with the actions taken by these states will lead to broader action that this Administration would support,” Jarrett said.
She suggested that parents disserve their children when they do not accept them as “LGTQ+.”
“Family relationships are pivotal to the physical and emotional well-being of any child, including LGBTQ+ youth,” she said. “Every child needs love, support, and acceptance to grow, dream, and thrive. LGBTQ+ youth with supportive families and friends show greater well-being, better general health, and significantly decreased risk for suicide, depression, and substance abuse.
“Countless families and guardians across the country proudly support their LGBTQ+ children,” Jarrett said. “Too many LGBTQ+ youth, however, lack this support system, which can have devastating consequences. Negative family reactions to LGBTQ+ youth can be perceived as rejection by children, often contributing to serious health issues and inhibiting a child’s development and well-being. And when it comes to LGBTQ+ youth, some actions by family and caregivers can be harmful, despite even the best intentions.
“This Administration,” she said, “believes that young people should be valued for who they are, no matter what they look like, where they’re from, the gender with which they identify, or who they love.”
Jarrett’s statement was preceded by a quotation from President Barack Obama describing a “young man” who is “wrestling with a secret.”
“Tonight, somewhere in America, a young person, let's say a young man, will struggle to fall to sleep, wrestling alone with a secret he's held as long as he can remember. Soon, perhaps, he will decide it's time to let that secret out. What happens next depends on him, his family, as well as his friends and his teachers and his community. But it also depends on us -- on the kind of society we engender, the kind of future we build.”
Jarrett’s statement was posted in response to a petition posted on the White House website in January that called for a “law to ban all LGBTQ+ conversion therapy." The petition had approximately 120,000 signers.
There is also another angle here that may have motivated Obama. Many homosexual conflicts and impulses in children are originated and driven by sexual molestation by a predatory gay sex offender, often a family member or friend of the family. It's really hard for children in such a situation to escape or expose the abuse.
About the only effective way is by the child exposing his sexual abuse to an independent third party as part of a counseling session. By eliminating the counseling option, Obama protects predatory homosexual pedophiles .
If a government can tell a parent not to get help for their own child, then that government can tell a parent anything. Anything from deserting the child to killing it.
To taking our children away from us for their own perverted communist reeducation camps. Pure eviI!!!!
Jesus please rescue us from this wicked man! Bring us a leader who will unite Christian men of concience who will fight to free our country from the perverted satanic powers that have taken us over. Lord,we repent of our sins. We are willing to give up anything :our materialism, our prosperity, our laziness , our selfishness, whatever it takes to restore our nation to its godly foundation with you , oh Lord, as our king!!!!
It's 'an attack on Christianity' masked as concern for children.
Homosexuality and lesbianism are 'a destructive force' on the people who indulge themselves in it..on marriage and families, and in the workplace.... and as well brings "confusion" to children when it's promoted and supported.
Destruction and confusion come from just one source...and the use of men to accomplish it.
That is such a great post, recbn

Wagglebee, this is a homosexual, moral absolutes thread. This president is totally sold out to the dark side.
Having worked with Dignity, a Catholic affiliated AIDS support group for Gay men suffering from AIDS, I can testify that the likelyhood of your gay child contracting AIDS and dying a horrible death as a result of the homosexual lifestyle, or committing suicide due to despair and unhappiness with the gay lifestyle is many times greater than the likelihood that that child would be driven to suicide by psychological counseling regarding his sexual identity issues.

I don't think so. It is a good read and everyone should take a look at the article.
They’re only doing this because it is an effective club to persecute Christian families.
This would be but one step in denying parental authority over their children.
The goal is to ban Christian parents from bringing up their children in the fear of God.
The Obamaci are secular false prophets and “their end will be what their actions deserve” (2 Cor. 11:15).
Q stands for queer.
If not, he is certainly a willing tool.
“We’re queer, and we’re here!!”
It’s OK for Lesbians to social engineer your daughters into thinking they are Lesbians ,thought ,D’oh

Although this isn’t really a homeschool issue.... yet.... it certainly is a family issue and you can bet that the schools will be brought into it.
So ping, FYI....
It takes an idiot village.
Jesus said that as in the days of Noah, where the thoughts of men were only evil continually, all the time.
We’ve surpassed Sodom and Gomorrah and are racing at breakneck speed for the judgment of God on this country.
He will not be mocked.
This is DEFINITELY a homeschool issue,
because this is the foot/leg in the door to denying parental rights to morally train their own children.
There was Lot and God had to drag him out of there.
.....Oh Ms. Jarrett, I got NEWS for you! IT WILL NOT HAPPEN by the GRACE of GOD.
