    California bans gay-to-straight therapy

    Legislation prohibiting a form of therapy aimed at changing a minor's sexual orientation from gay to straight — the first law of its kind in the nation — was signed by California's governor.

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov. Jerry Brown has signed legislation prohibiting a form of therapy aimed at changing a minor's sexual orientation from gay to straight, the first law of its kind in the nation, officials said Sunday.

    State Sen. Ted Lieu introduced the measure based on his belief that so-called conversion therapy is nonscientific and dangerous because in some cases patients have later committed suicide or suffered severe mental and physical anguish.

    "No one should stand idly by while children are being psychological(ly) abused, and anyone who forces a child to try to change their sexual orientation must understand this is unacceptable," said Lieu, a Democrat. "Gov. Brown should be commended for protecting LGBT youth by ending this type of quackery."

    Kate Kendell, executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, said the bill was needed so "state-licensed therapists cannot subject young people to practices that have been universally condemned by mainstream medical experts and that cause terrible harm."

    Republicans opposed the bill as a state intrusion into the decision of parents about how to raise their children. The conservative Pacific Justice Institute has said it will file a lawsuit alleging that the measure violates constitutional protections, including the free-speech rights of therapists and the right of patients to get access to information.

    "The privacy concerns are fairly significant," said Matthew McReynolds, a staff attorney for the institute. "In our view, it's an intrusion beyond what the government has done before."

    How about this

    "Children" should not be having sex of any kind..........that is called pedophile......... In the eyes of the law it is the governing presupposition behind every relevant legislation

    After the age of consent the person is no longer considered a physical or mental child thus the CA law is worthless

          "Children having sex" is not the definition of pedophilia, and it has nothing to do with this "therapy" bullshit.

          The legislation is intended to protect LGBT minors from being forced into these so called 'straight camps'.

                      In other news...

                      Location privacy took a hit in California yesterday when Governor Jerry Brown vetoed SB 1434, an EFF- and ACLU-sponsored bill that would have required law enforcement to apply for a search warrant in order to obtain location tracking information. Despite the bill's passing through the state legislature with overwhelming bipartisan support, despite local newspaper editorials in favor of the bill, and despite more than 1,300 concerned Californians using our action center to urge him to sign the bill into law, Governor Brown instead decided to sell out privacy rights to law enforcement.

                          I'm pretty out of touch with TV. I haven't had it for 15 years or so. I catch stuff at my mother's house on occasion, but I only hear about good shows from forums and all. I currently watch Downton Abbey and Boardwalk Empire. I went on a Trailer Park Boys spree a few weeks ago when it turned up here, and watched every episode :^D
