Uphold Parental Rights
 

Therapy exists to help those who are troubled.  Reasonable therapy that helps a young person sort out their sexual confusion is not the equivalent of shaming or punishing.  A good therapist knows the difference.  Don't undermine parental choice when it comes to finding the best therapy for their child simply because there is pressure from people bent on making everyone conform to their ideology.  This is a misuse of power.  Uphold parental rights!
