    No one is stopping a parent from taking their child to therapy, any therapist. This bill has been proposed-it hasn't passed nor will it be.

    can a 16 yo "child" not enter AA?
    if my 16 yo came to me and said "dad, I have a drinking problem, and I want to stop, help me" I will take him to AA.
    if my 16 yo came to me and said "dad, I have a being gay problem, and I want to stop, help me" I will take him to gayoholics anonymous.


    The state should not prevent me just because YOU have an agenda to push

    I agree, it won't stop a parent from seeking gayism therapy for their child. It also won't pass.... it does, however, show that the gaygenda is all about making sure they have as many kids as possible, thinking there is no way to stop this particular behavior

    Perhaps if you have some snotty, derogatory comment to make about me, you would be so kind to say it to me.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Like unsubstantiated claims that if you murmur to invisible people your child will no longer be gay?

    Question. Why does your god hate gays so much that he or she killed a bunch of them, and then continues to make them?

    so bashing religion in this thread is ok, but bashing choice hating is not?



    I already posted a link of success for gayoholism...... and "murmuring to invisible people" is a time tested step to stop alcoholism


    I hope that post wasn't too passive-aggressive that it hurt your sensitive feelings. quick, find a safezone to retreat to.... people don't buy your "born gay" theory as much as you do

    My comment was regarding to you discussing me with another poster. If you have something to say about me, then say it to me.

    You want to bash me? Go for it, but do it to my face, not through petty gossip.

    Your question is incorrectly phrased.

    First, God has a capital G

    next, God does not make thieves, murderers, pedophiles, cross-dressers, homosexuals, alcoholics etc

    Those are choices made by people

    You are free to believe that homosexuality entered the world when a man made of clay and a woman made of a bone disobeyed the spirit in the sky and ate magic fruit from a talking snake, just don't pretend it has anything to do with actual mental health.

    Yet your god can cure gays, but not cancer. Isn't your god the omnipotent, all knowing, all seeing? Why does your god not help folks who are truly in trouble?

    Not really. I simply am having a day where I like pointing out folks acting in a manner not befitting of an adult.

    if no one died, the planet would be pretty overcrowded at this point. Cancer sucks... but so does the alternative of not having something like cancer, keep the planet inhabitable

    BINGO! VERY well said.....if a teen wants to talk to a counselor about anything that's confusing him/her, the teen should have that right.

    I'm glad you have found a site that you can parrot directly, must make your witch-hunt much more streamlined.

    Typically cases of repreave and reparative therapy on minors under coercion of the parents. If a minor wants to attempt to change their orentation or receive assistance in methods to bury their sexual orentation of their own will then they should be able to.

    Parents should not be able to force them into therapy though - studies have shown the long term dangers of doing so.

    So your god allows people to die to make space for others? That is perhaps one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard.

    This is the most ignorant arrogant and equally disgusting statement I have seen in a while.
    The world would be a much better place with no cancer.

    I pray you never have to experience its effects on someone you love

    We have our mortal life which is finite. You are welcome to refuse and deny God all that you want. This thread is not about releigion other than the religion of gay-sex.

    Do you support the tyrannical position of the homosexual activists or the position of liberty?

    Impossible to prove either way, and you know that. Just trying to avoid the obvious agenda with more questions.

    How about for the sake of your question we say 50/50. Should the alleged 50% who voluntarilly want it not have this availalable to them?

    you mean like denying people a choice they want to make for themselves or their family, so you run to the state to make sure I can't..... that kind of not befitting of an adult.

    Conflating AA with Conversion Therapy is an insult to AA. No one is suggesting that ALL therapy for teens confused about their sexuality be outlawed. Conversation/Reparative therapy is about as accurate of term as shock therapy. If an adult desires to physically punish or harm him/her self to alter a behavior so be it. Forcing this crap on children should be banned nationwide.

    Comparing AA to the therapy in question is like comparing apples to road apples. There is none

    careful.... some posters on here want the state to prevent you from praying.... I'd say who, but they would retreat to a safezone.


    People MUST die.... I hate cancer, too. and have experienced a close loved one having it and dying from it. But something HAS to kill us eventually. If noone died, the world would be wall to wall people at this point in history.

    What other option is there.

    Not at all. If silly adults hate themselves to the point where they think myths about talking snakes will change them, they are free to seek such crap out. I am simply against child abuse, whihc I think that subjecting children to this bull(*)(*)(*)(*) of a therapy actually amounts to.

    No one should be allowed to send a child to reparative therapy. They should also be restrained from do rebirthing techniques for aggressive behavior, shock treatments for homosexuality, ice baths for mental illness and many other failed and abusive practices.

    There is no shock therapy in gayoholics anonymous.

    use the same steps and procedures with AA, for GA, would you have a problem with it?

    BTW - the state does FORCE people to go to AA (or at least gives them a choice between AA and jail).... even kids
