It's quackery, just like those "psychic surgeons" who wave chicken livers around and claim they are "tumors" they removed without making an incision.

Do you think the state ought to butt out in those cases too

Harrier does not care what gays do in the privacy of their own home - he just wants them to stay away from children and to leave the institution of marriage alone.

As for the bill under discussion, he sees no reason why people who seek help should be denied therapy.

And what is the purpose behind that? Are they supposed to get rich?

The institute of marriage is bogus. Everyone gets divorced these days. But what does that have to do with a loving home for kids. Please stop treating someone being gay as having a disease that can be cured. We are all who we are and we should stop judging others because they don't conform to our standards.

So it's okay for a parent to let their pre teen have therapy to change their sex. That's right, alter fcking science. Chop off their parts, sew others on, and change their natural hormones. Boys changing their name chris to Chrissy and taking up field hockey instead of basketball. But god forbid the kid talks to someone about wanting to live a more normal life when he gets older.

Harrier doesn't.

He has stated repeatedly in this thread that homosexuality is not a disease.

Maybe some, but many choose to act like outcasts and weirdos and then try and blame others for treating them differently.
I'm at the gym this week and some gay guy is walking around in short spandex shorts and a see thru belly shirt barely below his nipples. He's doing some ridiculous exercise two feet away from me, throwing his junk out in the open, wrapping his leg behind his head in front of the entire gym. I asked him what his fckn problem was and requested he act like a normal human being. he went into this spiel about I'm a homophobe blah blah.
Do you think I care what this freak does behind closed doors? I, and most other people could care less. But when you think your sexuality entitles you to act like some creepy animal in public, don't be surprised when people treat you like the weirdo you are. And it has nothing to do with ones sexual preference, rather how they choose to act in everyday life.

And I KNOW it's not all gay people who act like this. And I feel for gay people who act just like everyone else but are prejudiced against bc of the actions of some. Similar to many groups discriminated against (blacks, Italians, hot blonds with huge fake racks - okay, I made that one up), unfortunately people are often judged by the actions of a broader group.

I've long been fascinated by the existence of hate filled bigotry flying in the face of all evidence ...... I've just never understood the desire to take away some human rights based on sexual preference, race, religious beliefs etc. I guess some people - many people - enjoy any excuse to hate! Although I do admit to some hatred toward RWNJs ..... which i don't feel as long as they're not vicious ...... I'd rather not hate even them.

Socialistatheist, is your "socialism" National Socialism? Nazism? Serious question.

You seem to be confusing transgender people with gays and lesbians. Also, gender reassignment surgery is illegal for anyone under 18. So what is this preteen nonsense?
