And who's gonna pay for this silly crap. The state is bankrupt but now the taxpayers will have to pay for sensitivity training??

Jerry Brown Passes Law Forcing Doctors to Undergo LGBT Sensitivity Training

oct 10 2014
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.

Sounds like Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union.

Sounds like Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union.

And again you are wrong.

Neither Nazi Germany nor the Soviet Union would have allowed equality in treatment for all patients.

Or, for that matter, Pootin's Russia that you so adore.

 

[Mr. H.]

Not a bad idea, although I don't agree with the "forcing" part.

Hey Shootspoopers, maybe doctors should also be forced to take sensitivity training when dealing with parents of Down's Syndrome children?

 

[Noomi]

I don't see what the issue is here.

 

[Mr. H.]

I don't see what the issue is here.

I don't either, other than the fact they are now "forced" to take the training.

Why? Don't they have real life and death issues to deal with? Doctors shouldn't just be just more apparatchiks in the system. They have to actually heal folks.

 

[ScienceRocks]

I have a right to believe in whatever the fuck I wish.

You don't have a right to stop me.

They aren't human and the needs of ordinary human beings don't apply to them.

Well, then they should also have to counsel the gay men about unprotected gay sex and the spread of HIV, as well as the health dangers of anal sex. They should also advise the dykes on maintaining a hairstyle that does not make them look like dudes. If we have to be sensitive to them, then they should have to reciprocate.

That's a good point. These perverts offend the senses of normal people so maybe the perverts are the ones that need sensitivity training.

Sounds like Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union.

Actually, the Nazis would have killed the GLBTs.
