The glaring hole in this new law is that religion-based “therapy” is still permitted.

How sick and twisted is a society that looks in one direction, sees a practice that produces obvious evidence of harm, then bans it, and then looks in the other direction, sees the same practice producing the same harm, but allows and protects it because it is conducted based on sincerely held superstitious beliefs which means that special rights and immunities are in effect?

But still, one step is better than no step.

iDavid/others: EXODUS pulled their support of this form of therapy, saying it does not help, AND that homosexuality is not change-able, causing at least 12 member organizations to pull out. Sounds like Chambers found some backbone. Hopefully, ALL reparative therapy will be banned by professional organizations. Unfortunately, anyone can STILL hang out a shingle and call themselves a “counselor”!!!

The “ex-gays” and their allies will dig their own graves if they try to overturn the bill via the courts.

Excellent! Next will be to fail Exodus-like smut that leads people to degenerative reparative therapy though Exodus-like confusionists i.e. Randy Thomas and Alan Chambers. They and their religious switchcraft should no longer be a protected class.

I’ve been hearing that certain “ex-gay” groups have been planning to sue to overturn this law. I hope they go through with it and get smacked down.

Kudos to CA. It’s about time some effort was made to protect kids from the real dangers of society,namely all those religiously based and promoted ideas that are sheer junk and corruption. God’s will has to be forced through junk science. Right!
