Bethel Church Issues Rare Call to Action Over 3 "Troubling" Bills in California Legislature"Please forward this to friends and relatives who may want to be aware and lend their voice. We are grateful to live in this beautiful state where our opinion matters.

If these bills passed, it would be illegal for anyone to sell resources that offer treatment or ministry in order to reduce or eliminate same sex-attraction or gender dysphoria. This includes conferences, counseling, teaching, books or publications where money is exchanged for the resource. Also, children in foster care who expressed gender identity issues would be prohibited from receiving counseling or medical services that encouraged the child to embrace their biological gender. And those who are asking for resources to assist with addressing unwanted sexual attractions or gender identities would be prohibited from accessing mental health providers, even if they themselves desire such resources. Below, you will see information on the three bills, as well as the letters Bethel has submitted in opposition to AB 1779, AB 2943 and AB 2119. We encourage you to research these bills and act according to the Holy Spirit's prompting to you. How to Get Involved If you live in the state of California and would like to engage with this issue, please join us by doing the following: 1. Contact the below California Assembly Members and lodge your respectful and polite opinion regarding these bills. Please note that the deadline to voice your opinion is TODAY, Monday, March 26, so we encourage you to act in a timely manner. You can send an email, or leave a voicemail.

AB 1779 Regarding Sexual Orientation Proposed bill to ban mental health providers from assisting in sexual orientation change efforts for adults under a conservatorship or guardianship who express same sex attraction or gender dysphoria.
