California law barring parents from 'curing' gay children moves through legislature

A first-of-its-kind state law that would restrict parents from trying to "cure" their minor children's same-sex attractions seems headed to the governor's desk.

[CodeToad]

How about a law preventing the recruiting by homosexuals?

[UCANSEE2]

How is such a law constitutional?

It's more of a 'feeling' thing than a 'law' thing, ya know what I mean ?

Surf's up, dude.

Yet you can get a sex change...mind body miss-match..don't fix the mind..mutilate the body...great

[Armaggedon]

This is Californication. It is the rot of Sodom and Gomorrah. Every thought of the imagination of their hearts was only evil continuously. Only the truth makes you free. You cannot legislate unreality into reality. We are seeing insanity and government dictatorship.

[John Leland 1789]

Wouldn’t this mean, then, that the preaching, teaching, and counseling of any Bible-preaching pastor or church, on this subject, would be made illegal ?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Lower the age of consent and the harvest can begin!

[UCANSEE2]

Leading the campaign....?

[sanjuanbob]

We should have mandatory abortions based on pre-birth genetic tests for the likelihood of homosexuality. Just being fair and balanced.

Requirements that children be given identical toys is a logical and inevitable next step and then enforced "counseling" for children who inappropriately prefer what were once called gender appropriate toys and, in school, for boys who disđain holding hands with other boys. The nation is blessed with now two Homosexual States, Massachusetts and California.

LOL...loved that film...and it was the way Harold Ramis said “but we are willing to learn”. LOL

Did my basic where they filmed the movie...Ft Knox KY

[UCANSEE2]

Then.

Now.

[UCANSEE2]

Requirements that children be given identical toys is a logical and inevitable next step and then enforced "counseling" for children who inappropriately prefer what were once called gender appropriate toys

The new law will specify that to ensure gender neutrality, all toys must be painted GREY.

“I’m sure that with pressures brought to bear by homosexual activists, that Jerry Brown would be afraid to veto a bill such as this.”

That queer can’t wait for it get to his desk to sign it!!!

Thank you for your service!

I just may have to knock the dust off of that DVD and watch it tonight!

“Twenty years from now people will wonder why Sandusky was sent to jail.”

You’re right but only it’ll will be Saint Jerry Sandusky!

[ScottinVA]

It is beyond me how anyone still thinks that state is salvageable.

[Da Coyote]

CA cannot collapse soon enough.

When it does and the refugees flood us, are we going to be stupid enough to let them in?

[Wally_Kalbacken]

It's not, but it will take some time for it to be declared so. The effort just makes the CA legislature feel good. It's only a matter of time before this will be struck down. As an example, here in FL a law which granted grandparents some minimal visitation rights to the their grandchildren was struck down as an impermissible invasion of the family's right to privacy and association. Having the state invade the province of the parent's right to choose treatment for their children will not fly, anymore than prohibiting parents from choosing othrtodontia would.

You are worried about California refugees???? Seriously? I am more worried about WHAT WILL HAPPEN. What will happen is that the rest of this country will bail out this farce of a state. It is the 5th largest economy in the world or some such thing taken alone. You just watch what happens with all these bankruptcies of cities and eventually the state. It will be imperative that we bail them out. The media will be behind it all and our leaders, whether it’s Romney or Obama, will implore we bail it out on our children’s backs. It’s coming. Either Romney or Obama will claim they saved California just like the government saved GM Motors.
