[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1159819, member: 1246"] What happens if your kid refuses to go through a "rainbow doctor's" door ??? I could care less if someone is gay, but all this pandering to a tiny fraction of the population (less than 2%) is mind-numbing. Via Washington Times: [INDENT]In its first sexual-orientation policy update in nearly a decade, the nation’s largest pediatricians group [B]said its members should do more to fight “heterosexism” and “homophobia,” as well as step up their care of teens with same-sex attraction[/B]s. “Sexual-minority youth should not be considered abnormal,” the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) said in its new materials on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youths, released Monday. The policy statement and technical report — which updates a 2004 policy — is nonbinding but recommends that pediatricians create offices that are “teen-friendly and welcoming to all adolescents, regardless of sexual orientation and behavior.” [B]Doctors can signal their openness to LGBTQ youths by putting out brochures with pictures of “both same- and opposite-gender couples” or posting a “rainbow” decal on an office door or bulletin board.[/B] The report also suggests that medical questionnaires be changed to be gender-neutral, and that staff be trained to not ask a boy about his girlfriend, but to ask him to “tell me about your partner” instead.
