Supreme Court Decides for Therapist in "Conversion Therapy" Case

Sure pal and trump is willfully sending in our children to die in battle for him while he golfs.

Sorry, I don't follow this, at all.

It isnt the norm in statistics but in psychology its not abnormal. Homosexuality is genetic and just as default as heterosexuality to use a term that doesnt apply.

No, it isn't the default. It isn't the norm in biology for a sexually reproducing organism.

Again, what it is in psychology is about tolerance and acceptance, not normal or abnormal despite the use of those words.

If it's genetic, then it's due to a genetic trait that makes you more likely not pass on your genes to another generation, and thus a defect biologically.

Trying to argue homosexuality is normal biologically is just as idiotic as the people who did skull measurements to determine who was "aryan"

Gays reproduce just like anyone else. Many have their own children and gays can also adopt and they make great parents. So they do play a role in creating functional families. Default isnt a term used in psychology and doesnt apply. Homosexuality is determined by genes therefore it is normal.

They can, but their attraction to the same sex is a detriment to that biologically. Just because social mores make them maybe desire it and technology allows for it doesn't remove from the fact they lack the desire for the opposite sex, and that's who you reproduce with.

So Down's Syndrome is "normal"?

They have no effect on population and may be a natural limit. There is no objective evidence that defines them as abnormal in fact many have very productive lives. Women are more predisposed to be bisexual that that make them abnormal. The DSM removed them form the DSM in 1974 because there was no evidence to prove this was mental disorder in any way. Go ahead by my guest and prove it.

Again, not arguing with you on what is in the DSM, but again, that was about tolerance or acceptance.

My point is people should just go out and say "I am fine with X" instead of trying to backfill in some pseudo-scientific bullshit to justify their position.

Again, it's as dumb as the whole Nazi thing with the skull measurements.

Homosexuality is normal the hate for it is abnormal

Homosexuality is not normal. It is a consistent anamoly that has always existed in humanity in the same percentage and in every culture.

Rejection or avoidance is not hate.

There are more homosexuals than redheads.

And why do you care? Repressing something?

I don't care, merely correcting the record.

Supreme Court strikes Colorado conversion therapy ban, even Kagan baffled by KBJ dissent . . . The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy violates free speech, allowing counselor Kasey Chiles to counsel gender-confused youth. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented alone, warning the decision could trigger a collapse in healthcare quality, while Justice Elena Kagan dismissed her concerns as a distortion of settled First Amendment precedent. The ruling cements a controversial clash between religious expression and state regulations on therapy

Actually just the opposite is true. On ALL statements you made.

You have believed rhetoric and hype over true science.

No different from this Daily Mail author.

Gays should not have special occasions like Pride Month. If anyone disagrees with it they are labeled homophobic.

This is a terrible ruling. It means that conversion therapy which is banned by the APA and regarded as unethical means this harmful therapy can be used to try and convert homosexuals to heterosexual. It reverses the 1974 decision by the DSM that being gay is not a mental disorder.

It's a free speech issue. Slam dunk. The only one who couldn't see that is the one who can't define what a woman is. Gee, I wonder which idiot President appointed it?

Everyone in the military willfully signed up. No one was drafted.

Science has debunked that theory.

And there it is. Homosexuality is perfectly normal, yet because you disagree with me, that means YOU could be homosexual. Confused much?

 

[Dogmaphobe]

I oppose conversion therapy for the same reason that I oppose schools grooming children by providing them with "Gender Queer" or "This Book is Gay".

The notion of leaving kids alone to develop on their own cuts both ways.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

There are more homosexuals than redheads.

But everybody knows that gingers have no soul.
