The Jeff Sessions "Religious Liberty Task Force"

RE: The Jeff Sessions "Religious Liberty Task Force"
Quote:...Someone who is religious and wants to seek counseling to deal with unwanted attractions should also be free to do so... 
Conversion therapy danger ineffective pseudoscience and the state has every right to ban it .

Quote:No not at all, I suggest you get a new translator.
Yes it is Succubus reads you bullshit like a book .You are not that clever .

Quote:I believe that the issue is how loosely the law is written, and also the previous one about conversion therapy as well.  Perhaps it was modified to be more specific before passing I don't know.  Why would you need to prohibit advertising of goods and services which are already illegal.   It seems that from a policing standpoint, that this would be a good way to find those who are acting illegally. (although maybe they could have sanctuary cities, where the local jurisdiction can ignore the law).   I think that most would be against conversion therapy as it was called, which uses harsh practices reminiscent of early 20th century psychotherapy shock treatment.  I am.  However, if the law means that one cannot write or say anything about the biblical view of homosexual practice, saying that it is a sin.  Then this is against religious liberty.  Someone who is religious and wants to seek counseling to deal with unwanted attractions should also be free to do so (and the one offering council should be free to give help from a religious point of view).  Really the law should be about methods, rather than who.  You cannot use shock therapy, the counseling must be voluntary and such.  Perhaps they are not intending it as what some feared, but then there should be no problem in adding language to clarify this if some feel that it is sloppy legislation.

edit:  Note - I'm not going to change the topic to this, but wanted to clarify where some fear that this could be used for religious persecution.
This is pure Religious fundie paranoia
