Most Americans identify as being part of a major faith group (e.g. Christian, Muslim, Jewish), and the traditional views of these groups involve moral guidelines and truth claims about the nature of male and female and human sexual behaviors. This "law" runs roughshod over the long and deeply held views and makes no exemptions for those who hold them. Both those who counsel and those who seek counsel would now be prohibited by law from incorporating their faith when seeking resolution to a crisis of identity.
This is wrong on many levels. I oppose this legislation vehemently.
