Pedophilia Is A Sexual Orientation Under CA Bill

Carl Gallups Commentary: I have long maintained, to the consternation of many, that once homosexuality was normalized within our culture that there would then be a push to normalize other sexual aberration, especially pedophilia. I was labeled with all manner of hateful names for making such a suggestion. I stuck by my stance, because it only made common sense and it only made biblical sense. Once the standard, the Word of God, is thrown out the window then what is normal and what can be defined as a legitimate marriage is wide open to the sinful and fickle whims of man. I addressed this phenomenon in my best selling book THE MAGIC MAN IN THE SKY: Effectively Defending The Christian Faith (WND Books). I knew the following type article would soon appear in our news sources. It is now here. Note how pedophilia is positively identified with homosexuality and the gay rights movement. This was another prediction I made. Visit: http://www.carlgallups.com

California Congresswoman, Rep. Jackie Speier CA (D), wants to federalize a state law to prohibit counseling to change a person's sexual orientation. That doesn't sound that extreme, but pedophilia is a sexual orientation according to this bill as well.

Under the bill's language, a mental health counselor could be sanctioned if there was an attempt to get a pedophile or gay individual to change his behavior or speak negatively about their behavior as it relates to sexuality.

The bill calls on states to prohibit efforts to change a minor's sexual orientation, even if the minor requests it, saying that doing so is "dangerous and harmful."

The text of the legislation doesn't specifically ban "gay" conversion therapy. Instead, it prohibits attempts to change a person's sexual orientation.
"
Sexual orientation change efforts' means any practices by mental health providers that seek to change an individual's sexual orientation," the bill says.

Republicans attempted to add an amendment specifying that, "pedophilia is not covered as an orientation." However, the Democrats defeated the amendment. Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) stated that all alternative sexual lifestyles should be protected under the law, and accordingly decided that pedophilia is a sexual orientation that should be equally as embraced as homosexuality. (Emphasis is mine)

"This language is so broad and vague, it arguably could include all forms of sexual orientation, including pedophilia," said Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute. "It's not just the orientation that is protected—the conduct associated with the orientation is protected as well."
