I guess gays shouldn't be allowed to get married since we are basing things off how they were done in the seventies. How dare you.

Oops don't like when the study is pulled out and find out it was based off studies from fourty years ago. Oh well don't worry nobody else will bring it up either just cheer on the great Christie.

"Conversion therapy" was discarded by the AMA and board certified psychologists years ago.

of course, citizens who watch "dr Drew" or trash media prolly believe otherwise.

People who have a desperate need to hold on to a prejudice keep blinders on.

From the article...

Conversion therapy has increasingly drawn criticism for its methods. Last year, four gay men sued a Jersey City group for fraud, saying its program included making them strip naked and attack effigies of their mothers with baseball bats.

WTF?????

Sounds like some community organizers got a little out of hand. Obama was probably involved in it somehow and Reggie Love.

I wonder if straight conversion therapy is banned too?

If you're a straight minor in Jersey can you ask your shrink to help you "turn gay"?

Like usual your post makes no sense. Simple fact is Christie made his decision off a '09 report by the ACA that used studies from fourty years ago on this type of treatment. That would be like saying I support gays to NOT be married because they couldn't get married in the seventies. Do you and Christie support that too?

Also...

The sponsor of the bill called the conversion therapy a form of child abuse.

So now therapists can't do it but what about priests? If they use the same tactics aren't they abusing kids too?
