A stack of witnesses were at TX Capitol tonight to oppose #HB517 an LGBT priority bill that would prevent religious freedom and ban Christian counselors from discussing what the Bible says about marriage and sexuality when the client wants to discuss such information. #txlege

2 professional counselors and 1 former homosexual individual were able to testify about the dangers of this bill and how biblical therapy works. #txlege #HB517 #BanTheBible

After only taking 4 teatifiers for each side the committee has closed testimony. We have multiple other people in the room who were waiting to testify. Many traveled for hours to be here tonight. #HB517 #BanTheBible #txlege

Proud of @texmed and @TXPeds for supporting @CeliaIsrael #HB517 in written testimony. As physicians, we must promote evidence-based care, and, importantly, primum non nocere (first do no harm)

Rep. @CeliaIsrael just finished up. Apparently, the committee only let 4 people testify on each side of the bill and cut off all other members of public who traveled here to speak about gay conversion therapy. I don't know if I've ever seen that happen. #txlege #LGBT #LGBTQ

@GFColeman Up now is Jacob Mays, a therapist, who is for this bill to ban gay conversion therapy for minors. "Today we’re discussing conversion therapy. ...I think it's probably more aptly named abuse, conversion abuse." #txlege #LGBT #LGBTQ #HB517

@GFColeman Rep. @GFColeman goes on. "I remember when our son told us he was gay…The first thing i said was i love you. That's what I said. Nothing changed.” #txlege #LGBT #LGBTQ #HB517

@Senfronia4Texas @CeliaIsrael "The practice of conversion therapy itself suggests that there's something wrong with a child for being gay or there was some misstep in parenting," @CeliaIsrael adds. "Trust me, there is nothing wrong with us." #txlege #LGBTQ #LGBT #HB517

#HB517 in Texas empowers the government to punish Christian counselors and bans them from discussing what the Bible says about marriage and sexuality, even when that’s what the client wants. I oppose all #BanTheBible bills. #txlege So do thousands of Texans!
