Conversion therapy that may or may not have actually occurred. All based on some hearsay anonymous calls to Council.
Regardless of the fact that nobody seems to really know whether Pittsburgh City Council is even empowered to do such a thing.
And the one member of Council who had the common sense to object apparently lacked the courage to vote "no".
Not like there are potholes to fill, bridges to fix and garbage to be collected in Pittsburgh. The uber-liberal City Gov is obsessed with building bike paths and banning conversion therapy.
This is turning into San Francisco on the Monongahela.
Homosexual behavior is soul murder.
Most homosexuals were sexually molested as children.
These clown want to ensure they have access to your children.
How about individual freedom to pursue this therapy if one wishes to? We’re supposed to be a free country, right?
[Bruce] Kraus, who is gay, called conversion therapy a form of soul murder.Totally unbiased voice, there. Never mind being a Democrat.

Yeah, it's a mental disorder.
Silly councilman, leading a soul down a path to spend eternity apart from God is soul murder.
I’m someone who tried to make her teenager go to therapy, not for same sex attraction but for various other things that I’m not going into here but including a court order. My memory is of standing in the drive way with her screaming obscenities at me. She would not get in the car. She was (I thought) too young to drive so I was going to have to take her. I gave up that day. Next day she stole my sports car and was gone all day.
She now is in her 30s and doing well. Still and always a challenge. But my point here is that no teenager goes to any kind of therapy against his/her will. Any therapy I’ve been involved with (and my profession brought me in contact with a lot of it) was 1) mostly useless; and 2) only of any use if the patient/client was engaged in it.
So I’m wondering - a kids is taken to therapy by his/her parent. The session starts, the kid blurts out that he/she has attraction to the same sex and wants to stop having those feelings. Does the therapist stop the entire process and call the authorities?
I’m a licensed mediator and there are certain things which if brought up in therapy stop the mediation cold. So as a retired lawyer who has to know the end result of things, what is the end result here? Any therapists out there doing continuing education on this subject?
Don’t know what happened to your link.

so... if the kid thought they were a rock or a tree would this guy be against conversion therapy?
He’s right in a way. Not soul murder but perhaps spirit expulsion (i.e. exorcism).
Maybe s/he should think of it as a soul-abortion. S/he’d probably be alright with it then.
Don’t there peeps have an Urban Utopia to run?
What if these homosexuals want to try it?
My God, no freedom of choice.
The day a young person is molested or recruited is the day the soul was murdered.

Imagine if one of the nearby townships offered themselves as a “sanctuary city” for practitioners of conversion therapy. Liberal heads would explode.
A man showing off why Romans 1:18-32 is spot on accurate.
Ahh Pittsburgh City Council... where circus monkeys and clowns pretend to be civic leaders.
