Even if the therapeutic behavior is unusual, since both parties consent I cannot see how it should be illegal.
I’m in favor of decreasing intolerance —the government should not regulate in this manner.
Let’s lobby for a more tolerant government..!

So, if a gay minor wanted to be counselled to become hetero, he couldn’t legally?
What if (just for the sake of) a hetero male wanted counselling on how to become gay, would that then be legal?

The petitioners counsel should be asking several questions here. Was the purpose of the law to protect citizens from the quackery of unproven and impossible therapies proposed by charlatans. if so then prove the therapy is quackery and be done with it. However if the law was proposed to prevent an intervention that may succesfully change or redirect orientation then the state is siding with homosexual interest groups over parental control. Would the state side with advocacy groups for deaf and hearing impaired to prevent a parent from choosing a cochlear implant for their deaf child? Would the state deny an abortion to a woman if a genetic test were to be developed to determine sexual orientaion in the womb. or would the state deny the woman the right to have such a hypothetical test performed? These are the questions that should be presented to the court.

Appointed by Obama. That means she’s not a judge, but one of his cult.

Ugggh. Sacramento again. It’s the only place where I see self important apparatchiks step into crosswalks on busy streets without looking. They may be correct regarding the law but that will be little consolation when they get slammed.
Wouldn’t it be up to the parents to decide this? Of course there is an exception for abortion, no parental consent needed!

So let me get this straight:
1) I'm a man, I was born this way. But it's a mistake, I want to be a woman. So please Mr. licensed professional, will help me make this change?
No problem there, right?
but 2) I'm a gay, I was born this way. But it's a mistake, I want to be straight. So please Mr. licensed professional, will help me make this change?
Sorry, no can do, they passed a law against that.

I think you’ve got it. The default setting is always “gay”.

Laws like this are HomoFascism on Steroids.
The HomoFascists are not upset that this “counseling” does not work....they are upset that it will.

How long till being heterosexual IS illegal?
To: Free ThinkerNY
But, of course, many of these “therapists” won’t hestitate to tell a straight person that all their problems would be solved if they just accepted that they’re ..... gay.
