    If sexuality and gender conforming change efforts was a reliable practice
    you would see people standing in line to partake in those practices like a
    new iPhone release.

    We see that every Sunday, with people standing in line to receive

    I dunno about that. I have a cousin who is gay and he seems happy to be
    so. I am not sure he'd want to change... but maybe that is why they don't really work.

    We have a bill that is upsetting the religious community in our state even though my state is very far left. I was saying if the practices they want to keep were reliable then you would see less need or want for people to ban
    the practices.

    Religious community? You should read "The Handmaid's Tale" by
    Margaret Atwood. Quite an eye-opener. What would society be like
    under a monotheocracy in which the regime takes the Book of Genesis
    absolutely at its word? What would the consequences be for men and
    women of its population?

    The idea is not as far-fetched as it sounds. And it may come
    to the US, far sooner than you might think. Consider the possibility
    of Mike Pence becoming president. His worldview is that of a
    Dominionist. Kind of a Christian fundamentalist sort of guy,
    on steroids.

    If you think living in Iran is scary for Muslims, living in a society
    ruled by Christian fundamentalists would be even worse.

    Dominionists are modern-day Pharisees. It is this mindset that
    Jesus railed against, and ultimately got her killed. But we all
    know she can never die ...

    A valid point, indeed.
