Therapist Fined 20K Euros for Offering Gay Therapy
Church Militant ^ | 10/18/19 | Martina Moyski

MADRID (ChurchMilitant.com) - A Spanish therapist and professional coach has been charged with committing a "very severe infraction" against an LGBTI law passed in 2016 and fined 20,001 euros.

Elena Lorenzo has been sanctioned for helping people overcome unwanted same-sex attraction and promoting "homosexuality healing therapies." The therapist has responded by saying that she has "never" offered homosexuality healing therapies, but serves as personal 'coach' for people who have expressed a desire to "leave same-sex attraction behind."

Lorenzo describes herself as a "victim of a political persecution," saying the sanction represents "a very serious warning to those of us who think differently." She sees her case as the canary in the coal mine that heralds a life of "fear and silence."

I don’t understand the mentality of government which thinks that giving medical assistance to people who think they were born the wrong sex is okay, but forbid giving medical assistance to those who are seek help restoring normal sexual behavior.

The hypocrisy is staggering, isn’t it?

They encourage and push people into homosexuality but God helps the person who tries to helps someone who wants to change back to their biological sex.

Choice only works in one direction, eh?

Revelation 18

Then I heard another voice from heaven say:

‘Come out of her, my people,’
so that you will not share in her sins,
so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven,
and God has remembered her crimes.

Pray for revival in Europe. In Europe, Canada and blue America, it is getting increasingly difficult to just live a christian life without running up against some legally required wokeness.

Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.

The left can’t allow this because it destroys the “born that way” lie.

would love to see the wording of the law in California that bans people who treat same sex attraction. I wonder if it is worded in such way that it could be used to go after people who treat gender dysphoria with the aim to change there sex
