1) it's dangerous quackery, and is akin to allowing medical claims that are false.
So is homeopathy, and all sorts of other nonsense, but we don't ban that. I'm not saying i'm for these treatments, very far from it, but should the state be involved in this?
If they banned them I wouldn't really care, i'm sure they give people that don't want to be gay "false hope". But i really don't think Scheer coming out against involuntary conversion and wanting to see the full policy is anything bad. But people like in this thread will just run with it and twist it into Scheer being a homophobe, so will the media, and it just makes Scheer look bad.
