Bill banning parents from trying to 'cure' gay kids moves forward
MSN.com ^ | August 19, 2012

A new bill that’s the first of its kind has opinion hotly divided in California, this time over whether parents can be banned from trying to “cure” their gay children. Senate Bill 1172, which would prohibit all “sexual orientation change efforts” for minors, is through the legislature and slated to land on the governor's desk in September.

I trust parents to raise their children more than I trust the Peoples' Republik of Kalifornia.

This is outrageous. It would effectively prevent children marked for seduction by their teacher, coach or other ratfink pervert from being raised Christian.

Unbelievable. The world is collapsing around them and the left only wants to focus on protecting a small percentage of perverts.

What about families who think taking their kids to church is part of a process to straighten out their kid...so to speak?
So a family is going to be prohibited from taking their minor child to church?

The next move if they get away with this one is to put up a barbed wire fence around the state to keep people from leaving.

Wow, now we cannot discipline our children at all for anything.

“No, honey, you are not wrong for getting screwed in the a$$ by your local bureaucrate, and they are never wrong either as incompetent twats. You must learn like Obama to screw anyone and be screwed by anyone, up t’il murder, it feels good so long you got the upper hand in the end just like in Islam”

This is just like the child support and domestic violence Bull crap.

Yep, they did this with the LDS people who were not charged with anything but were under orders to stay put.

Your family court is showing its face, folkes.

Ever wonder why they always ask you if you are a citizen when you are a citizen, or whether you are a terrorist at the TSA. You got that right. They are playing stupid with this.

It’s the whole “foreskin issue” of our new government retards. They get crazy about circumcision, even if it means destroying the whole aparatus.

The perversion and corruption of the emotion of “humane” is unbelievable.

So instead of circumcizing and calling it good and going on all happy, instead they worship the foreskin and destroy the rest.

I know several gay people. The one thing they all have in common is a long history of abuse and people enabling their mental illnesses.

1. All gay people have abuse in their history.
2. All gay people self-medicate with alcohol, cigarettes and hard drugs.
3. Most gay people have legitimate gender disorders where they hate their own body parts. Lesbian women will shop in the men’s section for everything down to underwear and shoes even though those clothes don’t fit their bodies and an identical in style clothing exists feet away in the women’s section.

I believe ALL gay people need treatment for their disorders. NOT to make the straight or conform to social norms. Rather gay people need treatment in order for them to heal and love themselves as the gender they were born with.

Yet another reason to move out of the “Golden Turkey” state.

Any physician who practices the treatment of SSAD will have to move his or her practice out of the state. Will California medical schools no longer teach the treatment of SSAD as part of the curriculum? Will medical texts have to be re-written to meet California law?

I don’t know what makes me angrier, the fanatical perverts or the people who think that the homosexual agenda doesn’t affect them. What more do they have to see before they wake up, gays have become spoiled by all of their enablers including those who pride themselves of being “tolerant” of gays or those who have some relative or knows someone who is homosexual so that is supposed to make it all okay.

So let me get this straight. Physically mutilating a child to look like the other sex is OK but treating the child’s mental illness is not.

Thank God I don’t live in californistan

“Yet another reason to move out of the “Golden Turkey” state.”

But it might set a precedent for all the states, especially with the American Psychological Association backing it.

I have a friend who went through years of therapy because she convinced herself that she was 5 foot 10 ... Sounds nutty on it’s face, but she went so far as to have a contractor move all her kitchen cabinets up higher to accommodate her “ height” ... She was really 4 foot nine and in a series of abusive relationships - her coping mechanism? Seeing herself as tall and in control. The brain is an astonishing thing...

Conservatives have to reach out to California Hispanics, Asians and Blacks on this issue. I am sure that many of these people are not being educated about this considering the garbage that passes for information in the media these days. There has to be an outreach to their churches and to Asian places of worship such as Buddhist temples, I am sure that they do not want their children corrupted and violated.

Parents can try to keep thier kids from becoming Gay...but what usually happens is the kids become teens and say goodbye to Mom and Pop forever. I would be against any violence that would try to change a kids sexual orientation as well as confinement. You can scare em with facts but when they turn 17 don’t be too surprised when they take off and you never see them again.

Government is trying to tell parents they cannot teach their kids morality....and some here on FR are screaming bloody murder over whether one of our candidates was told by doctors how likely it is that a rape victim becomes pregnant.

Perspective.

So where is the bill to prevent people from trying to convince your straight kid from turning gay?
