Freepers are taking this announcement by POTUS with their usual grace and wit:

They want an ongoing culture war. Once sodomy is legalized, they want homosexual marriage. Once they get that, they want to promote genital mutilation aka transgenderism. There needs to be pushback against perversion.
The Democrats have become a party of perverts and parasites.

I do not see how it is any of Obama’s business. It is a family matter.

Our president sure is fixated on this topic, to the extent he can safely be considered a homosexual activist.
The next question is why.
—

The left wing homosexual lobby cannot afford to allow conversion therapy, not because it is ineffective, but because they are scared shitless it might just work now and then.
If it does work, it torpedoes their necessary political proposition that sexual orientation is inborn and unchangeable. If it turns out that the homosexual can be led to the straight life, they can no longer claim the right to be a “protected class” like race or sex or national origin.

That is why this is a key issue for homosexual politics.

Yes, it’s far better to treat a psychiatric disorder with physical mutilation.

Why? - well, perhaps they want every qualified deviant available to fill the ranks of the up-and-coming American Sturmabteilung - don’t want any attrition in the ranks, no, or maybe even Obammy is longing for an eventual “change” down the road like what Brucie-poo Jenner has in mind. The possibilities are endless.

What about the ruined lives from homosexuality? What about the tortured souls dealing (silently or not) with the guilt and self-detesting that living with these unnatural same sex attractions has caused?

What about the stories of homosexuals who commit suicide over a relationship gone bad or because they’re so guilty about their lusts that they can’t take it anymore?

It happens, Mr. Obama. And now you want ban a possible avenue of help and relief for them. How very less than loving (AHEM!) of you.
