The ink in California Gov. Jerry Browns signature was barely dry on a controversial law restricting what therapists can tell their patients before the first lawsuits against the state were announced.
Of all the freedom-killing bills we have seen in our legislature the last several years, this is among the worst, said Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute.
This outrageous bill makes no exceptions for young victims of sexual abuse who are plagued with unwanted same-sex attraction, nor does it respect the consciences of mental health professionals who work in a church.
We are filing suit to defend families, children, and religious freedom, he said today. This unprecedented bill is outrageously unconstitutional.
The proposal this year worked its way through the California legislature, which previously demanded that school children celebrate the life of pedophile Harvey Milk, and banned any negative discussions about being gay, such as the short expected lifespan.
It forbids therapy that would counsel a minor to not pursue same-sex attractions or feelings. Brown signed it into law over the weekend.
Dacus earlier called it one of the most outrageous, speech-chilling bills we have ever seen in California and thats saying a lot.
Developed at the behest of homosexual advocates, SB 1172 limits the ability of psychologists, therapists and others to help clients with sexual orientation change efforts.
The plan flatly bans the advice for minors, regardless of what the minor and his or her parents desire. It also demands a new consent form from adults that includes statements about sexual orientation with which many counselors disagree.

Thanks for the ping!
I think Jim Robinson lives in California and Free Republic is based there... maybe we need to take up a collection to help people escape the People's Republic of Kalifornication?

I don't think the current legislation poses any immediate threat to Free Republic, but living under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Circuit is not necessarily safe for conservatives of any stripe.
Yeah, I suppose they have become the new lab rats.
Good article. I hope you post to WND too.
Please remember that all of you should be posting comments to WND and other sites. Here at FR, you are mainly preaching to the entire congregation, not just the choir. Too many people are unaware of the hidden part of the “gay” lifestyle—the seeking of young boys.
Insightful comment from a newbie. Test and quarantine procedures were once very effective tools to control disease epidemics. A few queers and their political allies violated this basic rule of public health and now we have millions of cases and billions in associated costs to all of us.
I do post on one other site, also post a lot of articles there, I guess I could try to add WND to my repertoire...so busy though.
WND is a great site. No less than 1/2 dozen homos attempt to forum slide comments they don’t like. People are waking up to the rest of the lifestyle story thanks to posters like you. Keep up the good work brother.
