I’ve been a counselor and a counselee. I would not want to counsel nor be counselled by someone with whom I had such an irreconcilable difference of viewpoint. It would form a block to the formation of the relationship of mutual trust and respect necessary for effective intervention. The young man is to be commended for recognizing and reporting to his supervisors a genuine limitation on his services, not condemned and punished for it.
Yes, he is courageous. Counseling homosexuals one-on-one should be Ok for Christian Counselors but homosexual ‘married’ couples is an affront to moral sensibilites.
However, counseling a single homosexual is also fraught with legal risk as it has been deemed illegal to counsel homosexuals against their homosexuality.
