Gov of PR Rossello Orders To Stop 'Change The Gay Therapy' for Minors..He Forgot Young People..Sad!
There is no Therapy to change who you are. The only one is what they use on the spies and eventually those people find themselves lost and not be able to be themselves nor the person they were. If you know this is wrong for a minor you know is wrong for a 22 year old youngster fighting with their parents religion, parents, friends, school, etc.If you have the power to stop it on a minor why not on someone older? P o l i t i c s
The Governor of Puerto Rico Gov Ricaedo Rosello gets Kudos for issuing an executive order banning this torture on minors. But how about guys in their twenties that are being taken advantage of through families or just being confused themselves and commiting to this "torture' Then when they can stay on their narrow road they got nothing and they see suicide as the best thing.
To get better. They dont want to be gay for the same reason I didn't want to be gay. This is something given to us and we must do the most we can with it.
Being gay to most people makes them better people in which they understand others better than straights.. The Suicide statistic are very high on those in their twenties not on minors even though one is too many. But again this Governor know how to do the right thing only goes halfway because he things how it will afect him in politics. I saw that in him during Maria and even now. He has not been and is not one of the voices that are calling the President to stick to his word and let the money be realase to help Puerto Rico. He could not be more polite and nice while this psychopath handed down paper towels on his visit to Puerto Rico. Even Trump said the got along real well because they were from the same party which they are except the Governor Rosello does not touch that electrify cable.
What a good occasion to pressure him or even embarrsing about the way he was talking about PR already. If not dont even walk with this man. You walk with him and stay quiet when he put PR down and spits out untruths, that makes you part of that pozzy.

"Note to politicians of all stripes: This is what real leadership looks like". (This was on the paper and I would like to know why is leadership when he is doing it half way and how long as he waited? To do the right thing....half way!!! All he needed was a pen and pieace of paper; may be there were no writting papers in PR....He could have use of f Trumps paper towels then....)
This is how The Governor is being Praised which offends me:

"These days, when most Americans think of Puerto Rico they’re probably thinking of 2017’s Hurricane Maria. However, when it comes to LGBTQ rights, the U.S. territory is making some basic advancements in human rights that its stateside neighbors should take note of.
Gov. Ricardo RossellĂ³ issued an executive order that bans gay “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ youth. The unscientific practice has fallen under intense scrutiny in recent years for the abusive nature of a practice that attempts to change the sexuality of young people through repressive and sometimes even violent means.
No matter what you think about LGBTQ issues and rights, there’s no denying the fact that conversion therapy is abusive and literally does not work.
This is an important move for Puerto Rico that will literally save lives.
"Today we take a step forward to raise awareness among the people about this type of practice that causes pain and suffering,” RossellĂ³ said. "Love and respect should always prevail without distinction of sexual orientation, race, color or religion."
Even though the American Psychological Association publicly discredited the "discrimination, prejudice and immoral treatment" of gay conversion therapy all the way back in 2000, only 15 U.S. states have outright banned the practice.
“As a father, as a scientist and as the governor for everyone in Puerto Rico, I firmly believe that the idea that there are people in our society who need treatment because of their gender identity or whom they love is not only absurd, it is harmful to so many children and young adults who deserve to be treated with dignity and respect,” RossellĂ³ added in a statement.
Still, it has been an uphill fight against pseudoscience for RossellĂ³. His own political party blocked a bill that would have banned conversion therapy, leading to him issuing the executive order".

BREAKING: The Puerto Rico Governor has just banned gay conversion therapy for minors... also known as torture.
The move received widespread acclaim from LGBTQ organizations.
“We commend Governor Rossello for his leadership in issuing this order to protect LGBTQ minors in Puerto Rico,” said HRC Senior Legislative Council Xavier Persad.
“We are grateful for Gov. Ricardo A. RossellĂ³ for taking decisive action to protect LGBTQ youth from conversion therapy,” added the Trevor Project’s Sam Brinton. “LGBTQ youth in crisis reach out to us every day, including young people from Puerto Rico, and this action will undoubtedly save young LGBTQ lives.”
RossellĂ³ should be praised for the political courage to stand up to his own party and do what’s right. It’s the kind of moral integrity we’d love to see more of from our own elected leaders.
I give this governor no praise for this and the peole praising him are probably the people that told him that politicly might it might be better for him, which is also a mistake.Get better people Governor!
