Excerpts from Joseph Farah’s opinion piece “Illegal to help change sexual orientation?” on World Net Daily: “It’s perfectly legal for counselors to encourage lesbianism, homosexuality, transvestism and the aforementioned medical mutilations known as sex-change operations. It is even perfectly legal for counselors and therapists to offer assistance in changing the sexual orientation of adults and children from heterosexual to homosexual.”

“At the same time American society takes this anything-goes approach to sexuality, there is one new glaring taboo being constructed in some states: Counseling and therapy for minors who want to change their sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual.”

… “What are these radicals afraid of? They claim, believe it or not, that any counseling or therapy to change those with inclinations toward homosexuality is quackery. So let me get this straight: It’s perfectly justifiable and effective to provide counseling and therapy – and even permanent medical mutilations – to change from heterosexuality to homosexuality, but not the other way around.”

“They literally deny that tens of thousands – maybe far more – have left the homosexual lifestyle and become ‘ex-gays.’ Why do they deny it? Because they fear losing constituents. Though you will see open homosexuals by the score in TV shows and movies and read ‘heroic’ stories about them coming to grips with their sexual identity in the major media, one thing you will never see or read about is a person who turned his or her back on that lifestyle. Yet it happens all the time.”

“And that’s what the homosexual lobby and its enablers in political liberalism don’t want you to know about. So now they are making their big push to make it illegal to counsel or offer therapy to those who want to go straight. This is an illustration of just how dangerous and totalitarian in nature the homosexual lobby truly is.”
