california may be the first state in the country to ban conversion therapy so gay
conversion therapy is when they take uh... gay children gay teenagers and
they try to convert that into a straight person now this is a democratic jail and
that's really gay away it's a disastrous uh...
process that happens throughout the country it's heartbreaking in some cases
they will literally take agape man or woman died a child and uh... electrocute
them if they're having gay thoughts or if they're aroused by an emerging areas
yes as a result are keen i would love that california is taking the steps
necessary to ban this yet it looks like it's passed so far away in the
california state
senate which is a great that you know and and it's interesting to me with the
really strikes me about this is that the
in yesterday and north carolina they just past eight new amendment in
addition to the state constitution
again a outlining gay marriage even extra extra turbo you know if you make
sure that that's not gonna happen at all
but when you look across the country you know that other states they've that
attitude towards things like gay marriage and just you know the uh...
inclusion of homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle choice in america
and that has changed tremendously in in public opinion over just the last ten
years or so really happy scrap it
you know i
used to really criticize brock obama when it came to gay marriage and uh...
his stands on the gay community but today you know news broke it
he had an interview and during the interview i think basically says that he
supports gay marriage
which is important because before you did say that he said he supported civil
unions so i won't be clarified that it also the repeal of don't ask don't tell
so we are making great strides update it does make me feel that that
uh... you know we are
treating the gay community are we're moving toward trying to get community
as equals it's not so they deserve
vinyl so it's it's kind of insane the arguments against ivy california
potentially the california ban
and against this gay conversion therapy
this anti-gay therapy when did you find that you know did the
the psychology and video sound forget the specifically in the diagnostic
manual for
psychiatrists in the psychiatry industry today
a truck
homosexuality out of the s and thirty years ago here used to call it a mental
disorder and no longer is in a mental disorder and now you've got the
in american heard psychology associations they're all coming out and
saying that this gay conversion therapies exceedingly detrimental
to young people and it leads to higher suicide rates leader leads to higher
depression rates
the fact that they are fighting this in saying that this
that the folks that are fighting at this time
ban against gay conversion therapy actually said that it's depriving
parents of getting to be
appropriate psychological help for their children
there's gotta be a line that we draw somewhere you know with the parents
aren't allowed to not give their kids medical attention when they needed
there's doesn't seem like there's an equal and opposite reaction to protect
children from parents doing really bad things yet if there is a science uh...
indicating that this is destructive to someone's mental health the conversion
therapy
and there's signs indicating that pat you know this conversion therapy leads
to gay suicides yet yeah i think we can bennett and i'm absolutely fine with
that which is obvious
it's
it's incredible to me because
we talk about time and time again not just of environmental issues but
any and all issues were sciences involved
conservatives want to tonight aide north pretend like it doesn't exist and in
this case they're denying the science
okay conversion therapy is destructive it's it doesn't work
and at least sixteen suicides
but they just wanted to they just wanted to not absolutely not interested in what
the data says when they did it doesn't agree with that many live it the lab
science when it agrees with them
but they are the first to make nor it landed doesn't follow with their
ideology and that is in danger is that you know we can all work should all be
able to agree on at least a basic level of facts when we have major decisions
that we have to make
for the first the direction of the country to be able to stop and say okay
here the basic facts that that that science shows us we need to make
policies based on the science nani ideology as we know that that doesn't
work
