I don't ask for "information". I was referring to proof. You do know the difference, yes?

You know what cognitive dissonance is, right? The Internet is filled with information, all you have to do is not be lazy and look things up. Or I will post things for you, if you don't want to do it.

Unfortunately there is also a lot of ridiculous nonsense on the internet like floridapirate posts. However it is always from some anti gay religious based source. Rational people would go to a legitimate health\science source for information. Or .... gosh .. just ask some gay or lesbian people.

Should gay conversion therapy be illegal? Isn't this idea very similar to the pro-life advocates who want to intervene in a decision between a woman and her doctor? Don't come between me and my doctor, legislators--butt out.
The question is whether this can be considered medical. I would argue that if someone wants to bring some moonbat preacher in to pray over their kid, that may be within their rights, but the medical profession should not be defiled with that sort of quackery. Licensing medical professionals is certainly the state's business, and I would say we should simply pull the medical credentials from any therapist who practices this nonsense.
