Kink Friendly Law

Antiquated laws are a part of the American political and legal landscape. And for the most part are laughable to the point of absurdity. However in California one antiquated law in particular is no laughing matter.  Unbelievably in this day and age, California still has a law on the books mandating State funded research into finding a cure for homosexuality!The matter might be laughable in a bizarre macabre way if it wasn’t for the recent resurgence of ex-gay ministries and the right wing evangelistic view that homosexuality can be cured. California’s law which was introduced in the 1950′s and reaffirmed in the mid-1960′s calls for the State funded Department of Mental Health to investigate cures for homosexuality. In a State with one of, if not the nations highest unemployment rates along with the largest prison populations and in the midst of massive State budget shortfalls. Makes one wonder just how much State money was squandered on such an ill conceived venture.

Apparently someone in a the State legislature has finally come to their senses and proposed a proposition that would eliminate this arcane law once and for all.
