18 and under Gays...

So, california becomes first state to... ... this happened.

I don't know what is going on with the political system nowadays (or ever for that matter) but seriously, when you try to raise your "level" up by jumping on band wagons (aka, anything that has to do with gay rights ever since it eradicated the big elephant in the room of this countries house).

"California Gov. Jerry Brown said the so-called reparative or conversion therapies "have no basis in science or medicine and they will now be relegated to the dustbin of quackery.""

Oh yeah? So anywhere from the 1800's too present day string theory is all just something we happened to already know? With no origin of testing to see if anything is correct? what are you a moron Gov. Jerry Brown, or are you trying to feed off a system that is jumping on the gay rights bandwagon so you can move up?

Seriously, I don't give a fuck if you are gay or not. I have gay friends. It's your choice, cool.

But what I DOO have a problem with is people being "confused" on whether or not they are gay. Especially with the media going fuckin haywire for the past year or 2 with gay rights. It's not your right to say what a parent can or can not do with their kid.

"Conservative religious groups and some Republicans have argued that banning conversion therapy would hinder parents' right to provide psychological care for children experiencing gender confusion.

The Encino, Calif.-based National Association for Research and Therapy on Homosexuality said in August that the bill was a case of "legislative overreach." They said Democratic state Senator Ted Lieu's claims of harm to children were based on politics, not research."

I have experienced this a lot with my friends and acquaintances and a lot of the time I come to understand that they aren't really gay. They just had a hard time figuring out within themselves that it is okay to say that a same sex gender looks good and is ripped or has a nice toned body etc etc... Nowadays, people are fucking our kids up because they automatically assume that "omfg my kids gay waahhhh waahhhhh cry cry cry" when in reality you are making your kid gay for lashing out with such an emotion that his mind will think he did something bad, or good, and minds will take to bad, or good regardless. INSTEAD, you should be teaching them that it is oh fuckin k to understand you aren't gay, but that you have a higher learning/understanding/awareness to also be okay with saying someone looks beautiful, or is handsome, or has tight abs etc etc etc.

Instead, we have it flushed through our minds about what "scientists" tell us about gays or what works to fix it or doesn't work to fix it..

Seriously.

Fuck you California.

It's the parents decision to decide what to do.

Wrong.

Wrong.

'Gender confusion' is not a term with any meaning - you either like one sex or the other. The confusion here is the result of the person in question being surrounded by anti-gay propaganda, and being scared to be themselves.

Sometimes it shouldn't be. Sometimes we should find the rightthing to do and make that law.

What else is there to do?

[Haggard]

I never understood why people feel the need to "fix" gay people in the first place. The human race isn't going to die out just because there are a few thousand gay people around. If a male is attracted to other males... so what? (same goes for females being attracted to other females, of course) It's not like they harm anyone...

[Trambamboline]

I guess I can sort of see the point of the people claiming that shutting these places down will be denying help to kids, but I don't think these sorts of places really qualify as help. Helping a kids work through and understand their emotions (Whether it turns out they're gay or not) is always a good thing but that's not what this sort of therapy does, as far as I've seen.

[zag]

Based on what I've seen of this "therapy," I'm quite happy to see it outlawed, if in only one state.
Hopefully this will spread to the rest of our country.

It was barbaric, anit-homosexual propaganda which right-wing morons clung to for the sake of appeasing their idiotic beliefs.

[stafffighter]

this is clearly politics turf. I'd suggest remaking the thread there because this does deserve discussion.

Not sure if OP is trolling or just ignorant.
