CLC rating: Pro-lgbt ideology
Rating Comments: On February 10, 2020, Councillor Crowson voted in favour of a draconian Motion to draft a by-law that would ban what is being disingenuously labelled "conversion therapy", throughout the City of Lethbridge. In reality, "conversion therapy" is just traditional talk therapy as professionally practiced by licensed psychologists to help same-sex attracted or gender-confused patients who VOLUNTARILY come to them seeking help to recover their heterosexual potential, or to overcome sexual confusion. This propaganda term of "conversion therapy" also ensnares pastoral guidance to help those with UNWANTED same-sex attraction to live chastely in accordance with their faith. Such a totalitarian ban would effectively prevent people with unwanted homoerotic fixations and transgender delusions from receiving the therapeutic help they're seeking to overcome their unwanted condition. At the same meeting, Councillor Crowson also voted in favour of sending an official letter from Lethbridge City Council to Alberta's provincial government, asking it to ban "conversion therapy" throughout the entire province and thus enforce a key LGBT ideological conquest on all Albertans, including vulnerable and impressionable children.
On July 13, 2020, Lethbridge Council passed their anti-freedom by-law banning talk therapy and spiritual counselling, after shockingly voting to refuse to hear public consultations on the by-law. Such muzzling of public input by Council contradicts its own procedural guidelines... and democracy.
Somewhat to her credit, Councillor Crowson voted in favour of an amendment to the preamble of the by-law that acknowledges "freedom of conscience and religion" as being guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but it is a weak amendment that constitutional lawyers immediately said would prove ineffectual in protecting therapists, priests and pastors from being savaged under the Kafkaesque by-law .

Supported | |
| Conversion Therapy Ban - Motion to send a letter asking their higher-level government(s) to ban "conversion therapy" throughout the province. Council vote on whether to send a letter encouraging and requesting provincial and/or federal governments to ban “conversion therapy”, even for people who experience UNWANTED gender identity confusion or homosexual attraction, and who seek either clinical therapy or spiritual counselling to overcome their unwanted condition, or to live a chaste life that is more in harmony with their faith. |
Supported | |
| Motion requesting public input on Conversion Therapy bylaw This principled and democracy-friendly motion would require City Council to hear delegate presentations and other interventions by its citizens and other member of the public in relation to the proposed tyrannical ban on so-called "conversion therapy". Public input on important issues is the right of citizens in a free and democratic society; however, that right is threatened by activist city councillors who would dictatorially ram through "conversion therapy" ban bylaws which enforce LGBT ideology by muzzling therapist, parents, and spiritual directors who try to help adults and children suffering from unwanted homoerotic and transsexual fixations. |
