Parents rights must be respected
 

Please thoughtfully consider the following:

When children have same sex attraction or suffer from gender dysphoria, they and their parents have every right to seek medical counseling or advice because these tendencies are not natural nor do they follow natural law.  

Guidance Document (85-7) infringes on the rights of parents and children.  

Guidance Document (85-7) infringes on freedom of speech and freedom of expression of religion. 

Young people need all the help they can get when confronted with these tendencies -- especially to avoid mutilating their bodies or taking puberty blockers which can eventually lead to sterility and other life long consequences.  

More studies are needed to understand the causes of same sex attraction and gender dysphoria.  For example, some research points to a connection between birth control pills and homosexuality in men.  

Cancer of the anus is increasing as well as esophagal cancer possibly caused by anal sex and oral sex.  

It's time to stop and look at these unnatural phenomenon and resist the radical activists in the LGBTQ movement, organizations such as GLISEN (Gay Lesbian Straithgt Network) and MBLA (Man Boy Love Association) and Drag Queen Story Hours, who seek to increase their numbers by grooming young children and imposing their sexual behaviours on unsuspecting vulnerable children.    

One way they do this is to infringe on the rights of parents to guide and counsel their children.  

Please don't cave into those who would infiltrate all aspects of the society.  

Thank you and do not pass GD 85-7.
