It\\u2019s a conversation many have had at least once in their life. A friend or family member shares that he or she is struggling with same-sex attraction. 

No doubt there are countless opinions on the most loving way to respond in these moments, but a new law in Canada mandates the response to be given. Affirm the same-sex attraction\\u2014or risk jail time. 

Yes, Canada\\u2019s \\u201cconversion therapy\\u201d ban requires parents, pastors, counselors, friends, and others to affirm a person\'s gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation, or face jail or prison time. 

Canada has surrendered \\u201cto the political sphere to let them decide how we can counsel, how we can love our LGBT neighbors in the name of Jesus, and how to teach our own kids what a biblical view of sexuality and gender looks like,\\u201d says Jojo Ruba, the communications director for the Calgary, Alberta-based Free to Care. 

Ruba joins \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\\u201d to discuss Canada\\u2019s new \\u201cconversion therapy\\u201d ban and the possibility of the U.S. adopting similar federal legislation.
