Over 40% of gay men report having over 500 sex partners. Over 10% report having over 1000 sex partners.

Tell me again how homosexuality isn’t a mental disorder.

So I guess that attempting to modify behavior in other types of mental illness is off-limits as well.

Lying language, as is common when covering this issue.

Declining to hear isn’t “upholding.” It is “Permitting to stand.”

It might require a circuit split (this issue is also being litigated in California) before the USSC will take the case up.

Does this leave the ban on “conversion therapy” to the states or make that type of therapy banned nationally?

Meanwhile, the “conversion therapy” that involves physically altering the bodies of men who imagine they are women is not only legal; it’s supported by your tax money.

Traditional marriage is out the window. I think by next year we’ll start seeing the first cases advocating polygamous marriages argued in the lower courts, and eventually landing in the US Supreme Court. Pandora’s Box has been opened and I don’t think most of us will like what’s coming out of it.

I think that all of these cases are merely sideshows to the biggest problem, which was Lawrence v. Texas legalizing homosexuality in the first place. However, if there is any ray of sunshine in this, perhaps the Court was thinking states’ rights was an overriding factor. If that is the case, then there is an outside chance (very outside) that they will rule wisely in the homosexual marriage case.

So you can kill your unborn child but you cannot get counseling for your children’s emotional problems? Nice.

Chris Christie needs to be consigned to anonymity and the dustbin of failed GOP candidates.

Just because the supreme court doesn’t take the case this year doesn’t mean they never will take any such case.

They can’t possibly rule on every case each year.

So, the ban is upheld based on the lower court ruling, but it is not the FINAL word, court-wise.

No, the Supreme Court wouldn't want to undermine the original gay recruitment therapy where children were originally introduced to and indoctrinated into homosexuality.

I don’t understand the reasoning with banning conversion therapy for minors.

In any other area of medical treatment, parents have the ultimate authority to decide what treatment their children receive.

Correction — they don’t have ultimate authority in abortion, as underage teen girls are considered adults for purposes of deciding to have an abortion.

But except for gay therapy and abortion, both liberal causes, parents have the ultimate authority over medical and therapeutic treatment of their children.

So perhaps the bottom line here, is that parents have authority, unless they would make decisions counter to the liberal theology in certain areas. So since liberals are all in favor of abortion and against conversion therapy, our laws and regulations have been distorted to take away parental authority in those areas.

I predict a ton of conversion therapists will relocate to just across the border.

The appeals court said the ban, which Republican Governor Chris Christie signed into law in August 2013, did not violate the free speech or religious rights of counselors offering "gay conversion therapy"

Bookmark this reference for the next time someone insists on arguing with you that Chris Christie is a conservative.

"The US Supreme Court on Monday left intact New Jersey's ban on counseling intended to change the sexual orientation of gay children."

Noting that the states have never amended the Constitution to prohibit the states from prohibiting bans on gay conversion therapy, there is nothing that the Supreme Court could do; likewise for gay marriage if there were all honest justices. Gay conversion therapy in this example is ultimately up to the NJ’s legal majority voters just like gay marriage is.

Unfortunately, the honest interpretation of the Constitution just happens to work in the favor of pro-gay activist justices on this issue.
