Parental rights to obtain sexual counseling for their minor children
 

Parents know their children best and can lovingly provide the guidance that their children need, whether it is via professional counseling, religious advice or through the help of another trusted person.  Virginia has no business limiting or curtailing the right of parents to BE parents and help form their children into mature an responsible adults.  This includes the right to help a child struggling with sexual identity issues.  Virginia should not interfere with this basic right via regulation or legislation.
