It has everything to do with science. Teaching people that their natural inclinations are sinful based on man-made stories has caused millions of LGBTQ people to be depressed and suicidal. They have much higher than average suicide rates because of societal criticism based on fictitious stories and not science. It's one of the worst things you can do as a mental health professional. If you have beliefs that can negatively impact a person's mental health, as a professional, you should keep them to yourself. Imagine a physician not giving a blood transfusion because he thought it was sinful. Licensing boards and professional organizations don't care if a physician is a Jehovah's Witness. He or she is required to give optimal care and, if he or she can't do that, then he or she shouldn't become a doctor.

Speaking of science,

The Federalist? You chose an opinion piece by a highly-biased political website? They're counting on readers not being able to access the articles they referenced, but I have school access. I read one of the articles referenced, and the author of the Federalist article left out important information. Forty-eight percent of suicide attempters said their attempts were clearly related or related to their sexual orientation. Many surveys have a scale, and the survey in this study included a scale, so you're deliberately not telling the full story if you only refer to one possible response. 

Attempters were twice as likely to have come out to someone than non-attempters. In other words, youth were more likely to have attempted suicide after informing someone of their sexual orientation. Additionally, males had more suicidal ideations related to their sexual orientation than females did, so even more of their attempts were related to their sexual orientation. Five-one percent of the males who had suicidal ideations said they were somewhat to very much related to being LGB. The fact that almost half of LGB youth stated that their attempts were related to their sexual orientation is enough to explain the difference in suicide rates between LGB youth and heterosexual youth. 

In conclusion, The Federalist is lying by omission. If you want to debate science, share something written by a scientist and not someone with a general humanities degree who likely has little empirical research and stats training.


Anyway, to the OP, probably the quickest way to find what you want is to research all the cheapest schools.
