Leave it to Satan to insist on encouraging, protecting, and celebrating people going into sin, and forbidding them from getting help to come out of it.

The left is only satisfied with pushing people into a homosexual lifestyle and abhors them coming out.

What hypocrites!!!!

Stories like this give me encouragement that the pendulum is finally swinging back toward the sane side of absurdity. We have a long way to go, but this is encouraging.

Here is a good inoculation for minors with unwanted same sex attraction. Don’t send them to homo-fascist public schools where they are forced to learn the virtues of transgenderism, homosexuality, and naked communism

I absolutely agree that stories like this are encouraging. However if you look at our global trend, this is a mere bump in the road to Armageddon. The way Jesus puts it, by the time he comes back, it will be exactly like the days of Noah, and the days of Sodom and Gamorrah...

Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

The issue of therapeutic options for persons who experience gender confusion or unwanted same-sex attraction has risen to the fore in recent years as various states and cities have banned the practice.....

I've often wondered about what happens with a child who has two mommies or two daddies. What if a male child of such a couple decides he likes girls? Are the two Dads disappointed and try to dissuade him? Do they accept that he's not gay ? Would this ever happen ??

Just curious

"...that prohibited voluntary talk"

The unconstitutionality of it is apparent.

When did that ever matter to the left?

If you are upset at the last election, there is counseling for you. If you want to change your gender identity, there is counseling for you. But if you are suffering from temptation but want to lead a selfless life, liberals want to prevent you from getting counselling.

It matters when burning an American flag is defined as free speech.

No doubt, there is a lot of bad in the public forefront, but there are also a lot of really good Christian people left. One of our big problems is that evil people have seized the controls of the media and government, but there are vast numbers of people who are infuriated by it. They just have a hard time getting their voices out.

I am not yet convinced that we are spiraling down the toilet to the eschatological ending just yet. Christianity is making inroads in Muslim countries. I read the other day where millennial approval of LGBT behavior has fallen dramatically in recent years. God does great things when all seems lost precisely so people will know He is moving and acting in the world. I don’t see where the preponderance of mankind are all thinking and doing all evil “all the time”. It is not our place to know when he is coming, anyway.

To me, our place is to trust God, live in the world as a witness to him, and have ourselves sitting on ready for whenever he does come.

[[Stories like this give me encouragement that the pendulum is finally swinging back]]

We need ti to swing back nationally- many states ban ‘conversion therapy’ or even counseling for such cases- which undermines the parent’s rights to raise their kids as they deem fit to do-

They will eventually take them to ‘conversion therapy’ to make them gay- and you watch ,the courts will uphold that ‘right’- while Christian parents will be barred from taking their kids to conversion therapy when the kids are confused and think they are gay

[[One of our big problems is that evil people have seized the controls of the media and government,]]

And the way they’ve laid siege is through their ‘Rage Machine”- Every time a Christian or society for that matter tries to stand up against the Satanic agenda of the left, the left become violently rageful- and the msm back them up all the way- until so much pressure is put on the ones trying to right things, that they shrink back and allow the left to walk al over them

Essentially what the right have done is ‘Spare the rod, spoil the child’ and now, as a result, the children are running the household

Easier to give the temper tantrum throwing child what they are screaming for than to stand strong and resist giving in

So that is out predicament now-

Do you mean to tell me, your honor, that free speech, expression, and association are constitutional rights, and that the geniuses on Tampa City council don’t have a right to interfere with my therapist and me? This is an outrage! We need the learned betters among us in our board rooms, bedrooms, churches, anywhere where we might be subjected to ideas we already agreed to!
