THE THOUGHT OF 'CHANGE THERAPY' BEING SUCCESSFUL SCARES GAY LOBBY!


Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel 
 
Political correctness (usually called “PC”) is one of the greatest dangers to any government, society, or ecclesial community.  Under the sway of PC, appeasement and a twisted form of “tolerance” replace moral constraint, the law, and even a culture’s ability to apply common sense to resolve problems.    
 
When California Governor Jerry Brown signed SB 1172 into law, he boasted that change therapy for people wanting to overcome homosexual tendencies “will now be relegated to the dustbin of quackery.” That official statement was the very epitome of PC in action! 
 
California’s new law requires minors to receive, and counselors to provide, only one view on same-sex attractions…even when the client does not want to act on those attractions!  In just nine days, I will enter a federal courtroom in San Francisco to face California state attorneys over this Orwellian law. 
 
This law must not be allowed to go into effect.  We need your ongoing support for our landmark litigation to stop this overreaching, blatantly pro-homosexual law!  Please see my important update below – Mat.
 
 
Conservatives, 
 
Never before have the voices of such a small percentage of our nation’s population been more vocal, better funded, or more influential.  
 
Given their recent track record of successfully bulldozing the will of the majority of Americans, the pro-homosexual lobby may be the most powerful union in the nation.  
 
Sadly, they are successfully making the case that their quest is about getting “civil rights” that have somehow been denied them! 
 
The homosexual community is not merely demanding “human rights,” to which anyone is entitled to under the Constitution, but is actually demanding “hyper-rights.” 
 
In other words, they want rights that are not afforded to everyone, and exemptions from rules that do apply to everyone! 
 
Federal, state, and local governments have capitulated to the pro-homosexual demands – and have recently even embraced them.  Major corporations have begun changing their policies to appease the “gay community.” 
 
Our universities and schools have been indoctrinated by pro-homosexual literature and outspoken ultraliberal faculty members.  And, sadly, many religions and churches have abandoned the Word of God in the name of  “tolerance and acceptance.”  
 
A large contingency of pro-homosexual lobbyists orchestrated the passage of the horrendous SB-1172 “Change Therapy” law in California – and their like-minded associates are now seeking to enact similar laws throughout the nation! 
 
++This law is “over the top” pro-homosexual bullying!
 
California’s “Change Therapy” law places homosexual behavior above the will of parents, the well-being of minors, the oaths of counselors, and even above common sense. 
 
SB-1172 outlaws ANY counseling to help people overcome same-sex attractions.  It is an overreaching government intrusion into the personal decisions of parents and their children in obtaining meaningful counseling. 
 
This discriminatory law mandates that counselors present just one view – that “same-sex attractions are normal and desirable.”  It literally puts Christian counselors in jeopardy of losing their licenses to practice. 
 
++Liberty Counsel will not accept this outrageous attack on the rights of Christian families and their counselors.
 
I believe that God raised up Liberty Counsel to fight this crucial battle!  We are well experienced in fighting for moral sanity in California’s courtrooms.  And we have won in the Golden State more often than not.
 
Please, help us STOP this insanity! 
 
Your support will help us STOP the implementation of California’s unconstitutional law – and declares that you are united with Liberty Counsel in our lawsuit to stop prevent this ill-considered law from being implemented. 
 
Click here now to give a special gift to help us offset the costs of this expensive litigation effort:   
 
 
The law defines “sexual orientation change efforts” as any practice that is designed to reduce or eliminate same-sex attraction. 
 
Therapists have an ethical obligation to help clients deal with conflict.  If a client is experiencing conflict between religious beliefs and same-sex attractions and wants to prioritize those beliefs over such attractions, the counselor is ethically obligated to directly help or refer for help. 
 
But under this law, the counselor will be forced to disregard the client’s religious beliefs or ask the client to change them! 
 
This bill and the ethical codes of all of the licensing boards in California are on an inevitable collision course. The licenses of countless mental health professionals hang in the balance.
 
++This law actually recruits for the homosexual community while grossly discriminating against Christian families and counselors.
 
Americans must not stand for any state government usurping the individual rights of parents, children, or their counselors on such a personal matter!
 
The battle to stop pro-homosexual legal activism is one of the most important fights in American history.
 
This bill will harm children, unduly stress families, and place counselors in an insoluble dilemma. 
 
Please, join us in fighting against this outrageous law and the forces behind it before this pro-homosexual strategy spreads to other states.  Click here to give a gift of $25, $50 or $100 – or however the Lord leads you – to show your support for Liberty Counsel’s lawsuit against this law:  
 
 
And please let me remind you that we can only successfully fight this kind of battle with your prayer support.  Thank you and God bless you for standing with us!
