A ruling by the American Counseling Association that members must not help homosexual clients change their sexual orientation is not sitting well with some in the professional organization who are seeking clarification to avoid “future legal actions.” The official policy of the ACA is that counselors asked by clients for help in changing their sexual orientation must offer only "gay affirmative" arguments.

2008 - January Eagle Forum Calls for an Exodus from California Public Schools By Jim Day - : In the wake of the passage of SB 777 and related legislation, Eagle Forum of California gives parents good advice. Orlean Koehle, State President of Eagle Forum of California, and a teacher in the public schools in Santa Rosa, CA., is outraged by the signing into law on October 12th by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of four pro-homosexual bills. Koehle states, “The governor speaks with ‘forked tongue.’ On one side he is supposedly protecting traditional marriage. On the other side he signs into law SB 777, a pro-homosexual bill that will demand a redefinition of marriage, of parents, and what constitutes a family. Anything that could be labeled ‘discriminatory’ against gays, lesbians, and transgender youth will have to be rewritten or changed.” In the words of the bill, SB 777 will amend the education code so “no teacher instruction” and no “school activity,” can “reflect” or “promote” a “discriminatory bias against any person…who is homosexual, bisexual or transgender.” A textbook or a teacher’s instruction that mentions ‘father and mother ‘or ‘husband and wife,’ or that ‘your gender is determined at birth,’ could be considered discriminatory and the words will have to be changed or eliminated....
