[QUOTE="Scoundrel, post: 1116778, member: 8823"] From the article OP cited: [img]http://i.imgur.com/BrODpAr.jpg[/img] Caption: "Rep. Jeffrey Currey, lead sponsor of the bill, watches the vote tally board as his colleagues applaud." Conversion/reparative therapy may or may not be effective. There are all kinds of daffy "therapies" that are rooted in pseudoscience and wishful thinking. Period. End of story. And should any mental health professional attempt to help someone to change in this regard, they will be committing a crime. (At least in Connecticut.) There are fat acceptance people who would say "Being fat is not a disease." Many weight-loss methods either don't work at all, or don't work to the extent that they're touted. Do we then ban all programs to help people lose weight? Tell overweight people that they're not "broken," not in need of "fixing," and must accept themselves as they are? [/QUOTE]
