Some insanity from the left coast. If these people are seeking help to change any unwanted behavior, who is CAMFT to tell therapists who they can treat?
California's pro-family therapists are striving to persuade the state's largest therapist association to stand firm against demands to suppress or kick out members who seek to help clients with unwanted same-sex attraction.
LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) reported in March that the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT) has already submitted to demands from the gay-rights community to retract articles in the organization's magazine that supported traditional views on marriage and sexuality, typical...forcing their lifestyle on everyone. apologize for and condemn them as "homophobic," and submit an amicus curiae brief opposing California's gay "marriage" ban.
Stating that it had been neutral on political issues since its inception, CAMFT had even expressed consternation at the lobby's "bullying tactics," before acquiescing to the lobbyists. So complete has that acquiescence been that CAMFT's latest annual conference in April was reportedly largely dominated by workshops celebrating homosexuality.
The organization is now under pressure to ban outright the practice of reparative therapy for clients with unwanted same-sex attraction, and expel any therapists who practice such therapy. East Bay CAMFT has already issued a statement broadly declaring that reparative therapy presents no "enduring benefit" and only causes "harm," and is pressuring the state-wide organization to adopt a similar stance.
