Supreme Court lets stand California ban on anti-gay therapy
ABC News ^ | May 1, 2017

The Supreme Court has again rejected a challenge to California's ban on so-called gay conversion therapy.

The justices did not comment Monday in turning away an appeal from a San Diego minister and others who argued the law violated their First Amendment religious freedoms.

The federal appeals court in San Francisco had previously upheld the law in dismissing the constitutional challenge.

States rights issue; other states should criminalize homosexuality then.

This State fascism is unconstitutional and the SCOTUS should have accepted it. This bodes of evil fascism by the State.

This unconstitutional, irrational “law” controls the worldview and practice of doctors to force a satanic Marxist worldview (no free will) on their doctors AND patients.

This is NOT a State “issue”-—as abortion is NOT a State issue, since it involves fundamental Constitutional Right to Life. You can never have any State take away an unalienable Natural Right from God—as this is one of our basic freedoms of Thought, Association and Religion.

The State can never practice medicine or take over parent’s Natural Duty which this does.

You NEVER have a MAJORITY VOTE to DENY an UNALIENABLE NATURAL RIGHT FROM GOD-—WHICH CAN”T BE ABRIDGED BY THE STATES OR FED EVER or a “democracy”—tyrannical vote of the “majority”!!!! We have Rule of Law (Higher Law than the evil State-made-irrational “Law”).

Even if we had to base our national culture on perverted laws instead of commons sense morality, LambSlave's idea would be appropriate and make eminent sense. Unfortunately in our day and time homosexuals are a protected class and conservative Christians are not.

Didn’t realize people would miss the sarcasm, should have put /s tag. My point was how hypocritical this was, since you know if a state re-criminalized homosexuality, they would take it in a heartbeat.

Perhaps it is better to wait until Justice Kennedy retires. He is pro-homo, isn’t he?

It appears there was no decision or opinion, they did not grant writ of certiorari.
The case can, and should, come up again.]
