Sally Kohn wants straight daughter to be gay

Yes and maybe.

 

So I looked in the conversion therapy thread that has Christians trying to change the orientation of their kids, I don't see you in there calling it abuse, how come?

 

I'll call it abuse here. How's that? Now I'm on record. Didn't know the thread existed.

In my house it’s plainly, evidently not. We’ve bought every picture book featuring gay families, even the not-very-good ones, and we have most of the nontraditional-gender-role books as well — about the princess who likes to fight dragons and the boy who likes to wear dresses.

This is about doll houses?

All I ultimately care about is that she has the choice and that whatever choice she makes is enthusiastically embraced and celebrated.

 

Unlikely, as there doesn't appear to be any force involved.

 

Force is not required to commit emotional abuse.

 

It would need to be very aggressive to be emotional abuse.

 

Says who?

 

He can't define how it's emotional abuse. Legally speaking emotional abuse or psychological abuse is exposing somebody to behavior that causes psychological trauma like anxiety, chronic depression or ptsd.

It doesn't seem like this is emotional abuse to me. I asked him to rationalize hoe this could be considered emotional abuse, and then he went if on tangents about killing the messenger, he insisted I was in favor of abuse, and some other weird nonsense that had nothing to do with the discussion.
