Yesterday the California Assembly passed SB 1172, bringing this anti-gay "therapy" ban one step closer to reality

Watch the above speech by the Speaker of the Assembly, John Perez

From EQCA:

The California Assembly today voted 52-21 in favor of a bill that will protect lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth from dangerous and abusive treatments by mental health practitioners who falsely claim to be able to change their sexual orientation or gender expression. Authored by Senator Ted Lieu, Senate Bill 1172 is co-sponsored by Equality California, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, Gaylesta, Mental Health America of Northern California, Lambda Legal, and the Courage Campaign. The bill will return to the Senate for a vote to concur in amendments made in the Assembly before proceeding to Governor Jerry Brown’s desk

Please add your name to the petition urging Governor Brown to sign this important legislation.
