President Obama, the Therapist in Chief, will call for ending ‘Conversion Therapy’ or as the LGBT community likes to call, “Pray Gay Away” but it is also known as Reparative therapy or Reorientation therapy.
Interestingly, the New York Times and NBC seem to be the first media outlets to have the heads-up on Obama’s forthcoming announcement.
Obama will call for an end to psychotherapies aimed at “repairing” gay, lesbian and transgender youth.The White House responded to a petition on WhiteHouse.gov
“Tonight, somewhere in America, a young person, let’s say a young man, will struggle to fall to sleep, wrestling alone with a secret he’s held as long as he can remember. Soon, perhaps, he will decide it’s time to let that secret out. What happens next depends on him, his family, as well as his friends and his teachers and his community. But it also depends on us — on the kind of society we engender, the kind of future we build.”
– President Barack Obama
While the petition was directed toward youths, It is another example of the Obama Administration cutting away at the First Amendment and Religious liberty.
