the California State Assembly is set to vote on a bill that would actually — among other things — ban the sale of books expressing orthodox Christian beliefs about sexual morality.

Yes, ban the sale of books.

Assembly Bill 2943 would make it an “unlawful business practice” to engage in “a transaction intended to result or that results in the sale or lease of goods or services to any consumer” that advertise, offer to engage in, or do engage in “sexual orientation change efforts with an individual.”


The bill then defines “sexual orientations change efforts” as “any practices that seek to change an individual’s sexual orientation. This includes efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions, or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals of the same sex.”


Unconstitutional and unnecessary

If someone willingly buys these “anti gay/conversion therapy goods”, why should big brother stop the transaction?

Let's just call California what it is.

Commiefornia.

An authoritarian and fascist one party state that discriminates against capitalists and conservatives.

The land itself may be gorgeous but it's still a shithole full of shitty people.

Hmmmm.
Create legislation ... or maybe, just don’t buy books you don’t like?
Tough call, for sure.

It’s almost like this story was already told. You know, in a book.

Bookmarking this thread so when the liberals on this board claim the left's assault on free speech is only a few fringe lunatics on college campuses, we can point them directly to the legislature of the most populous state in America.

The consuming mother must not allow ANYTHING to hurt her precious children’s feefees. All opposition must be crushed and blasted from the earth.

As long as fundamentalist parents aren't allowed to torture their gay kids with them, they shouldn't be banned and everyone over the age of 18 should be free to purchase them.

Shocker. That's not what the bill says at all.

From the link in your OP.

quote:

Existing law prohibits mental health providers, as defined, from performing sexual orientation change efforts, as specified, with a patient under 18 years of age. Existing law requires a violation of this provision to be considered unprofessional conduct and subjects the provider to discipline by the provider’s licensing entity.

This bill would include, as an unlawful practice prohibited under the Consumer Legal Remedies Act, advertising, offering to engage in, or engaging in sexual orientation change efforts with an individual. The bill would also declare the intent of the Legislature in this regard.
