California Law Requires Doctors To Undergo LGBT Re-education

As if there weren’t enough problems in California thanks to Obamacare, what with doctors retiring early, moving to other states, refusing to participate in the Ocare exchange, refusing to take new Medicare/Medicaid patients, the California government seems determined to drive doctors out

(Breitbart) Gov. Jerry Brown just signed a law requiring that California health care providers be trained to better understand the specific health needs of the LGBT community.

The law is meant to target inequities in medical treatment for LGBT patients who, according to the San Francisco Examiner, suffer from a lack of provider understanding of gay and transgendered health issues.

Assemblyman Richard Gordon, D-Menlo Park, who authored the original bill AB 496, contends that LGBT patients have a variety of negative experiences with doctors and other healthcare professionals.

Lesbian couples complain that they have difficulty finding OB-GYN doctors willing to counsel them with in vitro fertilization options. Gordon adds that gays and lesbians criticize hospital staff for not treating them with respect while visiting their hospitalized life partners.

What ever happened to majority rule? These people aren't part of any majority, so why are there 'special' right assigned to them? It's just more over the top liberal hype that's of no use to the majority.

The left wing Progressives aren't necessarily pro gay as much as the want to knock down another pillar of America society and morality. They want to take this nation down so they go after the things that bring Americans together like...Religion...marriage...the family unit...Sports all while poisoning our children s minds with perversion and violence from their entertainment monopoly.

I suggest that more LGBT become doctors. They want to be so accepted them start providing for your own "specialized" needs.

1:33 - majority rule has been abolished by the legislating judges appointed by the loonies we allowed to be elected!

Perfect example of why this state was voted "most likely to be kicked out of the union"!
