Voice of the Voiceless Urges Maryland Delegates to Follow Virginia's Lead and
Reject Politically Motivated HB 91
This week, Voice of the Voiceless applauded the Virginia General Assembly
for rejecting HB 1135, which would take away the rights of parents and
their minor children to seek out counseling from a licensed mental
health provider to overcome unwanted same-sex attraction (SSA). The bill
was rejected with a vote of 4-1 and failed to get out of committee.
“This
is a huge victory for the children of Virginia, especially those who
have been sexually abused and seek help from a licensed mental health
practitioner to resolve unwanted same-sex attractions that may have
resulted from molestation,” commented Christopher Doyle, licensed
clinical professional counselor and President of Voice of the Voiceless.
“We are urging delegates in the state of Maryland to follow Virginia’s
lead and also reject House Bill 91,
which would ban minors in the state of Maryland from seeing a licensed
mental health practitioner to resolve trauma that results in unwanted
SSA, even if that minor voluntarily sought out the counseling.”
House Bill 91
states that Maryland has a compelling interest in protecting the
physical and psychological well being of minors and should protect them
against exposure to serious harm caused by sexual orientation change
efforts (SOCE), yet, there is not one single peer-reviewed scientific
study that has researched the outcomes of minors that have undergone
SOCE therapy.

| | Taking The Liberal Shilling: How The UK Association of Christian Counsellors Abandoned Counselling’s Core Principle and Biblical Truth
At the start of this year the UK’s Association of Christian Counsellors
(ACC) sent out a statement declaring that they do not support any form
of therapy to help people overcome unwanted homosexual feelings, what
they define as reparative or conversion therapies, and that no member of
the ACC could offer them. This is a worrying change of position as,
until the statement, the ACC was the only UK body that supported both
the client’s right to choose such a therapy and the therapist’s right to
offer this type of therapy. Already we have seen a therapist kicked out
of the ACC due to their change of position.
