Yes, the law is shitty and just a cover for LGBT discrimination. However, a counselor has no business treating anyone they do not respect. I'd rather TN just leave the situation as it is, and continue allowing "religious counselors"/Christian counselors/whateverthehelltheycallthemselvesthesedays to just refer LGBT people to counselors who DO respect them and want to work with them. It's just a really horrible situation having a right wing Christian counselor attempt treatment of any kind with LGBT. That contempt and disdain is just going to seep out no matter how hard the "counselor" tries to mask it.

To your last point, I would agree. We all know that problem is mostly rooted in religion, the wrong kind.
