Travesty in California

Please pray for everyone in the state of California. Yesterday, their Governor signed into law a horrible attack on religious freedom and an attack on many programs that provide REAL help to youth with this particular struggle. As of today, it is legal in California to give hormone blockers to an 11 year-old boy in order to delay the onset of puberty, but starting January 1st it will be illegal for a 17 year-old with unwanted same-sex attractions to receive professional counseling, even with parental consent.
The Catholic Therapists Network, NARTH, and Liberty Counsel are planning to fight the law in court. Here is a link for more information on the new law and it's implications: http://www.catholictherapists.com/latest/california-senate-bill-1172-a-scientific-and-legislative-travesty.html

My friend David gave this interview on CNN this afternoon: "Therapist to challenge 'gay cure' ban" CNN Newsroom: http://newsroom.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/01/therapist-to-challenge-gay-cure-ban/

Pax Christi,
