[Discussion] Oklahoma Now Lets Parents Torture The Gay Away

[Monxstaa]

Several red states are trying to fight against marriage equality by passing discriminatory laws against homosexuals. “Aversion therapy” is banned in many states, but Oklahoma is dead set on allowing parents to try to electroshock their kids into being straight.

"HB 1598 explicitly states that mental health counselors may engage in “sexual orientation change efforts” with any patient—including those under 18 who are forced into the “therapy” by their parents. The bill also consciously refrains from outlawing* the use of “aversion therapy” to change patients’ orientation, then helpfully outlines what such treatments might involve:

“Aversion therapy” means any counseling by a mental health provider that exposes or asks a client or patient to undergo physical pain, such as electroshock or electroconvulsive therapy, touch therapy, pornography exposure or vomit-induction therapy, in order to change sexual behaviors or gender-identity expressions and/or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals of the same ***.”*​

Oklahoma is pretty bad when it comes to anything... progressive. Not the first, nor the last piece of legislation that aims to discriminate!

It really messed up

Disturbing part is, people would actually do those to their children.

The fact that they open ways to that type of treatments shows that deep down they know the things they want to change are not diseases which can be cured with proper methods. They are just simple aspects of people, and to make people deny those one needs to impose an even worse consequence than not having freedom in who to love and who to be.

This is one of the many reasons why I want to move to Canada.

 

[Aimee Sky]

This is just so wrong and uncivilized... *sniff*

 

[Shuuya]

It never seizes to surprise me how people like this still exist. We live in the 21st century, yet people still do such barbaric things.

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

Seriously though is Oklahoma trapped in the 50's? Next thing you know is that they'll be sanctioning Lobotomies on gay people.
