Most queer or supportive adults feel pretty helpless, too, when they hear the horror stories about 5-year-old children being subjected to phony "cures," about teens being dragged off to questionable camps, about young people committing suicide because they fail to change. And according to a recent report issued by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy Institute, the danger is growing as the "ex-gay" movement increasingly targets youth. But the advocacy group LAMBDA LEGAL is proving that young "reparative therapy" victims -- and their families -- are not helpless under the law. Lambda's DEPUTY LEGAL DIRECTOR HAYLEY GORENBERG discusses some of the strategies they could pursue (with brief intro music, "Teen Freak," by DAVID BROWN) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5:50 [www.lambdalegal.org; 1-800-LGBTeen] SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by iconic singer/songwriter JANIS IAN [:10] + "If You Wanna Be Happy," a queer take on an oldie but goodie in an unreleased track by ESTROGEN [2:15] + POPPY CHAMPLIN is a breakthrough stand-up comic who's appeared with big name stars like Ray Romano, Bill Maher, Brett Butler, and Richard Beltzer.
