No matter how far they push, they will always push further. What will be next after the population has been bullied and brainwashed into accepting homosexuality as normal? California offers a clue:
California Congresswoman, Rep. Jackie Speier CA (D), wants to federalize a state law to prohibit counseling to change a person’s sexual orientation.
Under the bill’s language, a mental health counselor could be sanctioned if there was an attempt to get a gay individual to change his or her behavior or speak negatively about their behavior as it relates to sexuality.
Homosexuality is sacred to our moonbat overlords. Consequently, it has been stricken from the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, and progressives actually want to make it illegal to cure this psychiatric malady.
But the story gets worse:
The text of the legislation doesn’t specifically ban “gay” conversion therapy. Instead, it prohibits attempts to change a person’s sexual orientation.
Could this apply to pedophiles? Apparently yes:
Republicans attempted to add an amendment specifying that, “pedophilia is not covered as an orientation.” However, the Democrats defeated the amendment. Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) stated that all alternative sexual lifestyles should be protected under the law.
Alcee Hastings used to be a federal judge, but he was impeached for soliciting bribes and lying under oath. So he joined Congress, where moral and legal problems are not an issue so long as the constituency is sufficiently debased. Corrupt rulers make corrupt laws.
People are just beginning to figure out the implications of homosexuals becoming a protected class. There will be more implications when pedophiles join them. According to Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute:
“It’s not just the orientation that is protected — the conduct associated with the orientation is protected as well.”
It also means that, if pedophilia is a sexual orientation, that discrimination laws also apply to pedophiles. That means you cannot block a pedophile from being a preschool teacher or any other high-risk occupation.
Theoretically, the law would place pedophiles above normal people in the caste system imposed by political correctness, so that they would be given hiring priority and would be nearly impossible to fire.
Fortunately California SB 1172 has been hung up for the time being on First Amendment grounds, so it will be awhile before it goes nationwide. But that will only give progressives more time to think of where to push us next.
