California May Ban Gay Teen 'Conversion' Therapy

- A first-of-its-kind ban on a controversial form of psychotherapy aimed at making gay people straight is speeding through the California statehouse.

Supporters say the legislation, which passed its final Senate committee Tuesday, is necessary because such treatments are ineffective and harmful.

"This therapy can be dangerous," said the bill's author Sen. Ted Lieu. The Torrance Democrat added the treatments can "cause extreme depression and guilt" that sometimes leads to suicide.

you are the barbaric one. Forcing someone to seek treatment when it is not a health condition.

People decide that they are gay through feelings and their own consent.

How barbaric? How disqusting you are.
