GAY TRUTH

SACRAMENTO, CA, March 28, 2014  – The backers of a failed statewide petition to place California’s controversial new  transgender law  on the ballot for a public vote have sued the secretary of state and a number of county officials demanding an explanation as to why more than 131,000 signatures were  thrown out  as “invalid” – including the signature of one of the petition’s sponsors. The law in question allows students at California’s public schools to use the bathroom, changing room and other gender-based facilities of their choice, regardless of physical sex.  It also allows boys to participate in girls’ sports and other activities and vice versa, as long as the student says he or she “identifies” as the opposite sex. Privacy for All Students (PFAS), a group based in Chino, collected more than 600,000 signatures on a petition to force the law on the ballot for a chance at repeal by voters.  Only 504,760 were required to force a referendum, but state officials threw out mor

SACRAMENTO, CA , August 2, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The author of a California bill that would forbid minors from seeking therapy to overcome unwanted feelings of same-sex attraction has admitted his intention was to undermine parental rights . State Senator Ted Lieu wants to undercut parental rights. “The attack on parental rights is exactly the whole point of the bill, because we don’t want to let parents harm their children,” said State Senator Ted Lieu, D-Torrance. Senate Bill 1172 would ban anyone under 18 from receiving reparative or sexual orientation conversion therapy , even if requested by the teens or their parents. The bill would label the treatment “unprofessional conduct” and “therapeutic deception.”   The bill  passed the state Senate  in June. It is now being considered in the state Assembly.  After likening the therapy to allowing children to smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol, the  43-year-old Taiwanese-born legislator  said, ““We have these laws t
