Canada’s federal government introduced legislation to criminalize “gay conversion therapy” that aims to change a person’s sexual orientation to what is deemed “normal” by heterosexual standards.

“Conversion therapy is a cruel practice that can lead to life-long trauma, particularly for young people,” said Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada David Lametti. […]

The new legislation would make it illegal to cause an individual to undergo conversion therapy or remove a minor from Canada for the purpose of undergoing this practice. It would also make it illegal to advertise or profit from providing such therapy.

A ban on conversion therapy was a part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s platform for re-election in 2019. The bill is also expected to receive support from the New Democrats and the Green Party. …

Meanwhile, its ok for the populace at large to be subjected to relentless pro-gay and pro-trans and anti-hetero, anti-white, anti-male cultural propaganda 24/7.

But that’s different, they say.

This is unfair. The bill is only banning queer-to-straight conversions, while doing nothing about conversions the other way, as promoted by our pop culture.

Is there a new prime-time television program that does not shove sodomites down our throats?

The claimed issue is whether converting someone from “gay” to straight is cruel. The answer can be found in the therapy’s effectiveness.

In practice gay conversion therapy works.

So wait..... Black people can’t be turned into white people through therapy. If born-homosexual people can’t be turned straight through therapy and gay conversion therapy works then people can’t have been born homosexual. So homosexuality can’t be a birthright.

Conclusion: Gay conversion therapy is actually the process of removing a delusion from someone’s head. It would be embraced by anyone who’s not afraid of having their delusions destroyed. It shouldn’t matter if someone thinks gay therapy is cruel. Removing delusions should not be considered cruel. Anyone who thinks that way is delusional.

However, in related news, the Canadian government has legalized and encouraged the conversion of Canadian childrens’ gender through hormone therapy and counseling.

The inability of leftists to detect irony is painfully obvious once again.

Since it’s about destruction of family and religion, it’s “right” and “good” to them.

Sick, ignorant morons create sick, ignorant, moronic law. They are so stupid they can probably sleep like a baby at night. I could not if I had done what they have done.

The article is worthless. Is the proposed banned on minors only or for ALL ‘conversion’ therapy? What will be deemed ‘conversion therapy.’
