Court judgment gives legal team fees for fighting Florida's 1st Amendment violations
WorldNetDaily ^ | 4/8/23 | staff

A court ruling is delivering legal fees to Liberty Counsel, which successfully fought on behalf of several plaintiffs against Florida city bans on ordinary talk therapy for minors who have unwanted same-sex attractions.

The plaintiffs also have been awarded damages.

The court earlier ruled that such limits violate the First Amendment.

Now Liberty Counsel, which won the cases Otto v. Boca Raton and Vazzo v. Tampa that involved the government censorship of counselors who were asked to provide "minor clients with help to reduce or eliminate unwanted same-sex attractions, behaviors, or gender confusion," said it is being paid.

This was a win by Liberty Counsel over Boca Raton and Tampa banning "conversion therapy" by counselors so that they could not assist a patient who wanted to leave the gay lifestyle. Big win for those attorneys to be awarded attorney's fees. And big win for the Plaintiffs in the 11th Circuit.

"It was in late 2019 that U.S. District Judge William F. Jung gave Liberty Counsel a summary judgment in its case seeking to invalidate the Tampa ordinance. That ultimately was affirmed at the appeals level.

Good. This marks yet another defeat for the forces of darkness who are trying to make our children into sterilized sexual deviants.

They are great. Win like 90% or so of the cases they argue. Good place to donate to.

They need to take this to California where such counseling is illegal.

Teachers can groom kids and keep grooming dossiers on them, but don’t you dare try to talk them out of the teachers’ indoctrination.

Nude dancing and burning the flag were “protected speech under the First Amendment.”

This is the most wonderful news! God bless Liberty Counsel. Hope the precedent soon spreads across the country.

New Jersey as well, signed off by Chris Christie when he was governor, IIRC.

Exodus International.

https://exodusinternational.org/about-us/

“While we have never met anyone who “chose” to feel same-sex attracted, people do have to eventually make a decision to either act on those feelings or not to act on them.

Since 1976, ***Exodus has served as an organization helping men and women surrender their sexual struggles to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.***

We do not believe that same-sex attractions are sinful in and of themselves but rather one type of struggle and temptation among the millions that impact each and every human being.
