It seems with all of the serious budget problems faced by our state government our legislators can still find time to place more burdens on those who provide services to us with politically correct nonsense.  SB 1729 (Migden) is another example that our state legislators should only be allowed to meet part time lest they get into too much mischief. 

SB 1729, if passed into law, would provide that health care professionals must take mandatory sensitivity training if they provide services to "gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender" seniors.  As with most of these pro-homosexual bills, there are no exemptions for those with any religious or other objections.  I am sure the option for a health care professional who has any objections to this "training" (indoctrination) is to forget their 1st Amendment rights or lose their job.  So much for tolerance!  Of course another problem with this bill is that it appears to correct a problem that is not proven to exist!

SB 1729 is another reward for those who make a lifestyle choice and wish the rest of us to pay for it.  So called Gay Seniors should not be a protected class any more than blonde people, tall people or retired legislators who cannot safely drive an automobile or keep their campign finances properly accounted for.   

SB 1729 passed the Senate Health Committee and is in the suspense file of the Senate Appropriations Committee (which means it can be brought out for a vote and off to the Assembly at any time). 

If you wish to object to this politically correct nonsense you should write your legislator and the Governor now.  A sample letter is here:    No on AB 1729 #2.doc
