Staver: Reparative Therapy Ban Lets Gays ‘Entrap’ & ‘Groom’ Children

Liberty Counsel’s Mat Staver is concerned that California’s ban on “ex-gay” therapy for minors is “very dangerous” because it will allow gay people to “entrap” and “groom” children into homosexuality.

Staver, who has appealed his challenge to the California law to the Supreme Court, told the American Family Association’s OneNewsNow today:

Staver notes that especially in California, children are being indoctrinated in public schools that homosexuality is normal.

“And then when someone is either abused or begins to struggle with these issues, when they’re bombarded with it day after day after day, they won’t be able to get any help from a licensed professional Christian counselor,” says Staver. “So that’s why it’s very dangerous.”

The law allows homosexuals to “entrap” and “groom” children into the homosexual lifestyle, without providing any opportunity for help, says the Liberty Counsel attorney.

On Friday, Staver discussed the ban with Janet Mefferd. “We’re talking about life and death situations here,” he said, blaming LGBT rights activists for “forcing homosexuality on everyone by force of law” and claiming that the reparative therapy ban “will force people into a lifestyle of destruction.”
