In typical left-wing fashion, the LGBTQueer movement are following the advice of current Chicago mayor and previous B. Hussein Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel when he said:
"You never want to let a serious crisis go to waste".
Dan Savage: ‘Leelah Alcorn’s parents should be prosecuted over suicide’
Jan. 1, 2015
Gay rights activist Dan Savage has hit out at the parents of 17-year-old Leelah Alcorn, the trans teenager who tragically took her own life last Sunday (December 28).
After facing rejection from her friends and family and being subjected to sessions with “biased” Christian therapists, Leelah was killed after deliberately stepping out into the road, but not before writing a heartbreaking suicide note outlining her struggle –
Now ‘It Gets Better’ founder Dan Savage has reacted to the story, saying that Leelah’s “criminally reckless” parents should face criminal charges over their daughter’s death.
In a series of tweets posted yesterday (Deceber 31), the 50-year-old claimed that rejecting queer children amounts to “abuse” and that
“an example needs 2 [sic] be made” of Leelah’s parents..

And if there is legislation that keeps parents from helping their sexually confused child from leaving homosexual desires and behavior behind, it goes without saying that there should be legislation that prohibits parents from helping their gender confused child as well.
Enact Leelah's Law to Ban Transgender Conversion Therapy
In the pursuit of honoring Leelah's last request we the petitioners call upon the President of the United State- Barack Obama, and the Leadership of the House and Senate to immediately seek a pathway for banning the practice known as 'transgender conversion therapy'. We ask that you name the bill in memory of Leelah as the Leelah's Alcorn Law and protect the lives of transgender youth.
'Conversion therapies' have been documented to cause great harms and in this case, Leelah's death. Therapists that engage in the attempt to brainwash or reverse any childs gender identity are seriously unethical and legislation is needed to end such practices immediately. Transgender youth have one of the highest suicide rates in the nation. We must not allow therapists to increase those rates with therapy methodologies that have been demonstrated in harming trasngender youth.

Isn't life just great since homosexuality was decriminalized?
