"Being lesbian, gay, or bisexual is not a disease, disorder, illness, deficiency, or shortcoming" according to California Senate Bill 1172, due to be voted upon this week.
Gee, who is missing from that list???
The bill concerns the manner in which "physicians and surgeons, psychologists, marriage and family therapists, educational psychologists, clinical social workers, and licensed professional clinical counselors" are allowed to counsel patients under 18 years of age.
The "bill would prohibit a mental health provider, as defined, from engaging in sexual orientation change efforts, as defined, with a patient under 18 years of age."
How's that tire feel on your face?
