California bans gay "conversion" therapy for minors
Governor Jerry Brown has signed a bill banning a controversial therapy that aims to reverse homosexuality in minors, his office announced on Sunday, making California the first state to ban a practice many say is psychologically damaging.

The move marked a major victory for gay rights advocates who say so-called conversion therapy, also called reparative therapy, has no medical basis because homosexuality is not a disorder.
Brown said in a short message on Twitter that he supported the bill because it "bans non-scientific 'therapies' that have driven young people to depression and suicide."

The bill's sponsor, state Senator Ted Lieu, a Democrat from Torrance, said the law was a gesture of remembrance for a man who committed suicide after undergoing the therapy.

The measure prohibits children and teens under 18 from undergoing sexual orientation change efforts. It received support from the California Psychological Association and the California Board of Behavioral Sciences, among others.

"LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) youth will now be protected from a practice that has not only been debunked as junk science, but has been proven to have drastically negative effects on their well-being," Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin said in a statement.

He urged other states to follow California's lead.

Lieu said the psychiatrist who pioneered the the..

If you actually look up what conversion therapy does to people you'd probably STFU. Prisoners in Gitmo are treated nicer.

Do some research. All conversion therapy does is make people hate themselves and try to make people straight by making them remember pain and suffering when they have a gay thought.

It isn't "therapy" its torture.

Actually, that's just a generalization on your part. Mexico (at least in Mexico city) is way more liberal than the US. Soft drugs are legal there, as well as gay marriage.

At least they are trying to do something other than spread the cheese. Young kids trying to find they're sexuality may need a little steering, especially if they are already being brought up in a home with same sex parents..that are scout masters...doing drugs..cameras all over the house..

But that is my opinion, Keep it in Cali.

So it's ok to convert the straights with their gay agenda but now it's not ok to convert gays. You wait they'll probably try and ban hetersexuals from using the word straight cause it makes one person from the LGBT community feel inferior.

Re: California bans gay "conversion" therapy for minors
Stupid therapy is not even needed anyway! These so-called gays are screwing their own selves enough with their own inner conflict. It's funny enough that many have these "heterosexual" slip ups from time to time. The same way they try to indoctrinate heteros with gay fantasies is the same way some supposedly gays will dabble with the opposite sex when taken aback by someone "special".

It's all mental in those pushing the agenda know it!

Re: California bans gay "conversion" therapy for minors
They are converting kids to homosexuality by

romanticizing it.

Do you have any idea how in it is right now to be "gay" in a public school? you get fan clubs called "gay-straight
alliances". You get rainbow-hued "safe zone" stickers on your classroom doors, just for you.

it is like hitting the affirmative-action jackpot.

Please don't tell me this massive, daily influence is not converting kids to be gay.

They even have a name for them - in GLBTQ, the Q stands for
"questioning" kids, who are questioning whether they are
homosexual or not. Welcome, and of course they are pushing a YES answer to those kids!

Wake up, the worship of gays is tipping the scales for some insecure students.
So don't tell me you can't influence sexual orientation -

They are doing it in the gay direction all the time.

Stay in the present, sweetie. The pendulum has swung so far in the opposite direction it is hitting us in the face.

Now kids are puppets for parents that want their own sexual identities played out by unknowning innocents.

like putting "born that way" wristbands on toddlers of gays.
Like lesbians forcing their girl children to wear butch haircuts to school.

Re: California bans gay "conversion" therapy for minors
When DUMB was handed out the USA appears to have gotten more than their fair share.

Treating homosexuality as a mental illness is as DUMB as you can get.

YOU DON'T CHOOSE HOMOSEXUALITY - You are born that way! Bisexual people may make a choice but homosexuals don't!

The straight quiz.

Seeing homosexuals choose their sexuality - straight people must have made the choice also.

Could those straight people who believe that you choose your sexuality please answer the following?

1. Did you have a test drive of both types to make your choice? Tried men and women and decided I think I'll be straight.

2. Did you look at a person of your own gender thinking - that looks yummy - BUT no I choose to be straight.

3. Do you still think that person of my own gender looks hot BUT hey I'll stick with women?

4. What other methods do you use to maintain your chosen sexual preference? It must be very hard because sexual preference (in your minds at least) is a choice.

Being male, I knew I was attracted to women from as long back as I remember. I NEVER thought of a man as a sexual partner, or anything else but a friend.

Therefore I know I am straight.

To treat children with a conversion therapy for something that is NATURAL is wrong!

Wake UP! Please! These people have been oppressed and manipulted for too long by the DUMB amongst us!
