California bans 'gay cure' therapy for children

Governor Jerry Brown's statement: "This bill bans non-scientific 'therapies' that have driven young people to depression and suicide. These practices have no basis in science or medicine and they will now be relegated to the dustbin of quackery."

Unfortunately, stuff like this swings both ways. Ban abortion, but people will still have abortions, they'll just go underground or women will resort to injuring themselves in order to miscarriage.

Ban shithole organizations like this, and they just go underground. Isn't that kinda how Marcus Bachmann's clinic does it? They don't directly come out and say their services are for trying to convert homosexuals, but that's what it's for.

Still, its progress, but preferably, I'd prefer not to resort to a law. People can't be forced to accept homosexuality. I want hate like this driven into the open, not hidden underground. Education is what changes people's minds on stuff like this, not laws.

Yeah but delegitimizing it does do something. This is a psychological thing and parents can fuck up their gay kid just by talking and being mean to them. Abortion is a physical thing though that can seriously harm or even kill someone if done improperly so it makes sense that a doctor should be the one to perform it.

They can hide but some won't want to test it and this will definitely bring the number down if anything.

I would categorize this as a form of child abuse. If adults want to voluntarily submit to this kind of therapy, I have no problem with it, but forcing children into this kind of psychological abuse is just wrong. >> ^VoodooV:
