Progressives in the pursuit of progress:
California Congresswoman, Rep. Jackie Speier CA (D), wants to federalize
a state law to prohibit JackieSpeiercounseling to change a person’s sexual
orientation. That doesn’t sound that extreme, but pedophilia is a sexual
orientation according to this bill as well.
Under the bill’s language, a mental health counselor could be
sanctioned if there was an attempt to get a pedophile or gay individual to
change his behavior or speak negatively about their behavior as it relates
to sexuality.
The bill calls on states to prohibit efforts to change a minor’s sexual
orientation, even if the minor requests it, saying that doing so is “
dangerous and harmful.”
The text of the legislation doesn’t specifically ban “gay” conversion
therapy. Instead, it prohibits attempts to change a person’s sexual
orientation.
“Sexual orientation change efforts’ means any practices by mental
health providers that seek to change an individual’s sexual orientation,”
the bill says.
Republicans attempted to add an amendment specifying that, “pedophilia
is not covered as an orientation.” However, the Democrats defeated the
amendment. Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) stated that all alternative sexual
lifestyles should be protected under the law, and accordingly decided that
pedophilia is a sexual orientation that should be equally as embraced as
homosexuality.
The piece goes on to state that the bill was ultimately blocked.
For now.
Society will pay a price for the progress being pursued. | l******t
