Some of the Patients have severe psychosis and are unable to make rational, informed decisions about their sexual choices. Some Patients have objected to the pride activities being held all month long and were told to not come if they didn't like it. Clarvida has not provided an alternative activity during the designated time frame of the Stonewall day celebration. Clarvida canceled a Trauma Recovery group in order to celebrate Stonewall day. This occurred because the group facilitator, Freddy Fernandez is a homosexual and demanded the Stonewall day event take precedence over the Trauma Recovery group. Trauma Recovery is for everyone, including those who live the homosexual, transsexual or nonbinary/ genderqueer lifestyle. Clarvida's Wellness South Calendar shows another pride event on June 26th - the 10 year anniversary of Obergefell vs Hodges. Clarvida staff picked those dates with surgical precision to align with historical events that celebrate days considered to be LGBT+ milestones or victories. Clarvida staff will not allow Christians, or for that matter any other Abrahamaic religion to attend the Stonewall day celebration and quote the Judeo-Christian Bible, including verses in the Torah or the New Testament regarding homosexuality. Clarvida staff will not allow anyone to state facts contrary to LGBT+ programming. For example, that there are only 2 genders, or articulate the belief that every member of Humanity was created male or female. Clarvida staff will not allow anyone to offer their view that marriage is the Sacred union of one male and one female. Clarvida staff will not allow anyone to articulate the viewpoint that gender is biological and immutable. Clarvida will not permit anyone to mention programs like Courage which advocates for compassionate treatment and respect for the same -sex attracted, while guiding and encouraging them to choose celibacy. Clarvida will not allow anyone to mention Reparative Therapy, but freely doles out information about how to obtain gender changing hormones and even surgery. By imposing these speech restrictions, Clarvida is deliberately promoting one worldview or ideology over another. At least a few Patients who identify as Atheist or non -Religious have complained the incessant gay centered activities were too much and promoted over regular activities. Clarvida does not inform Patients of their Rights to make grievances directly to the County's Health Care Agency. (OCHCA) This concludes my questions, at least for now. Please strive to respond within 2 business days so the situation can be appropriately assessed.
