Proposed Law To Keep Gay Conversion Therapy Legal

Symbolic pandering is the order of the day.

It’s like trying to legalize snake oil.

— Samantha Ames, a lawyer with the National Center for Lesbian Rights, on a proposed bill in the Oklahoma state legislature to provide legal protection to people peddling so-called “gay conversion” therapy. Even though this therapy isn’t actually illegal in Oklahoma, Rep. Sally Kern (R-Obviously) wants a law guaranteeing that it won’t become illegal, because legislating is about symbolic pandering instead of making “laws” for “society.” At least Butters can attend Camp New Grace in peace.
