Erie County bans conversion therapy

[buffalopundit]

Here is what I'd like to see.

A law that states Erie County will never be considered a sanctuary county for "Illegal" Immigrants.

I'd like people to not change the subject.

It also pays to look at the personal predelictions of those supporting this meaningless, idiotic and almost certainly unconstitutional foolishness.

1) Meaningless ???
2) Idiotic ???
3) Foolishness ???

I see Grump is looking in the mirror once again!

● It is certain ● It is decidedly so ● Without a doubt ● Yes definitely ● You may rely on it

● As I see it, yes ● Most likely ● Outlook good ● Yes ● Signs point to yes

The subject is about passing laws. I brought up a law that I think should be on record so that the issue never starts up. Wouldn't you agree? AND I'm not saying the law passed is bad. My point is there are far more pressing issues to focus on.

You see many things Breezy. I’ve always been amused by people who see things.

I googled conversion therapy and gay conversion therapy erie county. I see articles about banning it but no doctor/doctors groups that offer the service. Was this being practiced in Erie County before this law was passed banning it?

No it was not practiced. Just one more attempt to shut down free speech.

[Frank Broughton]

It is a bad law as it is written. Have you read it? Looks like a 10 year old wrote it.

[grump]

Well, it was proposed by a Democrat so it was certainly proposed by someone with all the sophistication of a 10year old.

Yeppers, you got that right.

But what was the point? It wasn't like anyone was trying to start up practice offering this in the first place. As the representative and voice of the electorate has stoning, caning and roof tossing been banned? I don't care either way if the law is on the books or not. The point is why was time spent on this while there are far more pressing issues that should be focused on.

Yes. All of those are a form of battery. If anyone was to stone you, cane you, or toss you from a roof, they'd be guilty of a crime. Likewise, if you were gay and someone wanted to physically or psychologically force you not to be gay, they would also be guilty of a crime.

Then I guess we can do away with this idiotic local law because such activity is already criminal.

No, until this law was passed, it was not a crime to physically and psychologically torture a child to try and pray away the gay, since the parents gave consent.

"physically and psychologically torture" ... is that what is being done? Where, how, by whom?

[Genoobie]

I'm ok with like banning micro beads and to a point plastic bags. It's an issue that is currently happening in Erie County and other places. I don't see some medical group offering conversion therapy.

I'm definitely not OK with banning plastic bags. Just more boondoggle.

This is hysterical and totally on point.
