California recently banned all gay straightening therapy. Surgical gender modification remains legal.

And this is why I am so saddened about the once great state of California. Despite having lived most of my adult life out of state, in my heart I will always be a Californian. But the state I love seems to be dead.

The recent research (showing that male homosexuality may be a result of epigenetic modifications to the DNA, and therefore not genetic) actually suggests (to me) that therapy/behavior modification may be of great benefit in these cases. Maybe a drug regimen targeting specific neural pathways (and changing the epigenome) would be beneficial. Like most mental illnesses, homosexuality obviously causes a great deal of distress to its victims. Only a cruel and heartless ghoul would want to prevent them from receiving therapy that would help them live more normal, happy lives.

Note that regardless of the science of it, no one was dragging the patients to receive gay therapy before, and some were cured of their homosexuality.

That cruel and heartless ghoul is Governor Moonbeam Brown, of the liberal Pantheon of Compassion and Progress.
