Homophobia, courtesy of our small-government friends in the Evil Party
The 4parents.gov website, brought to you, the net-aware reader, by the nosy parkers who have infested the United States government, is a cornucopia of offensive platitudes, each one more odious than the last. If you read through it (and can avoid falling into a screaming rage that ends up with you kicking your computer out the window), you will come out with a new appreciation of just how quickly a liberal state can metastacise into a theocracy.
I particularly noticed this little quote:
«If you believe your adolescent may be gay, or is experiencing difficulties with gender identity or sexual orientation issues, consider seeing a family therapist who shares your values to clarify and work through these issues.»
"Issues"
I'm not going to investigate to see if they have approving links to some of the so-called "ex-gay" organizations who specialise in the cattle-prod method of sexual reorientation, or if they simply point to "ex-gay" organizations that use a 12-step method of christian brainwashing to bully their victims back into the closet, because if I found either of those links I believe my head would really explode. But I will point out that the subtle message of "your kid is gay? He's broken, you need to fix him!" will not be lost on the christian Taliban who are the base of the Evil Party.
