In reference to our discussion on the article "What's So Bad About a Boy who Wants to Wear a Dress?", California became the first state to officially ban what it called "Cure" Therapy. The belief behind this therapy, and you might remember that one of the parents in the article actually had their son do this, is that acting homosexual or in a way unbecoming of one's assigned gender can be "cured" through talking to a therapist.

I believe that this step is huge because as we read in the article "What's So BAd About a Boy who Wants to Wear a Dress?" some parents brought their children to therapists who told them to take away their feminine toys and dresses. By doing that the child just went into a depression and this made it even worse. Not allowing parents to take their children to therapy will further allow the child to be who they want to be, which is what we want.
