Now California Will Never Find the Cure for Homosexuality!

Add a comment 6

In news that will undoubtedly upset Richard Cohen, California’s 1950s law that considered gays deviants, and called for the state to investigate ways to cure homosexuality, has been killed by the State Assembly (thanks, Assemblywoman Bonnie Lowenthal!) in a 62-0 vote. It now heads to the State Senate, where anti-gay gay Roy Ashburn will get to take a crack at voting the will of his constituents.

Try to change anyway – maybe some hot guy will try to save you, or at least prove it didn’t work.

Homophobia needs a cure, no homosexuality.

QUEERTY: “It now heads to the State Senate, where anti-gay gay Roy Ashburn will get to take a crack at voting the will of his constituents.”

My guess is that Ashburn will vote in favor of the bill – his votes on gay issues have matched those of the vast majority of other Republicans in the state senate in every case, and a 62-0
vote in the state assembly means that no Republican opposed it
there, so you’d expect something similar in the state senate.

If he votes like the other Republicans do, it will be his first officially “gay-friendly” vote. He can justify the vote to his constituents by saying that the best data available indicates that any attempt to find a “cure” is a waste of the taxpayers’ money.
