Get ready for Gay perversion of marriage to be upheld as well.
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?
But shopping off your kid's genitals is perfectly ok.

Chopping... though maybe in the future shopping will be too.
We are so screwed.
By gays.
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.
Yeah, Laz. They will gladly hit you.
Fixed it.
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.
The USSC declined to review the New Jersey challenge.
Other circuits will doubtless wade in to the question as well in the future. It commonly requires an inter circuit disagreement to get the USSC to choose to take up a case.
Anyhow battle lines are being drawn and they are getting starker and starker. I still doubt that anything that is not promoted as psychology or psychiatry would be affected even by the New Jersey ban. It does not reach (yet) to clerical advice, and good theology is really all that is needed to help in situations like this.
So you can kill your unborn child but you cannot get counseling for your children’s emotional problems? Nice.
Smoking is legal too, and yet so are stop-smoking programs.
It points to spiritual weakness against evil. Calumny me from pillar to post for saying it, but to my reading, if it needs buggery to be fun, it’s evil.
