Conversion Therapy for Minors banned in Washington State


A three judge bench of the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit unanimously upheld Washington State’s ban on conversion therapy for minors. The bench rejected therapist Brian Tingley’s claim that the law undermined his free speech and free exercise rights. The Court ruled that in a previous similar case of Pickup Vs Brown, the Court held that the State ban on conversion therapy did not regulate speech but only regulated conduct, and therefore did not violate the free speech and free exercise rights as per the First Amendment.
