It wasn't about conversion therapy, it was all about free speech

Headlines for the past few weeks have capitalized on the cruel connotations surrounding conversion therapy, proclaiming that the United States Supreme Court struck down "a conversion therapy ban." The problem is that the Supreme Court, in an 8-1 decision that included Justices Kagan and Sotomayor, told Colorado something that needed to be said: Your law was never actually about that.

Chiles v. Salazar is being reported as a "conversion therapy" ruling. That framing is a political bait-and-switch. What the court struck down was a government mandate on what therapists may say to a consenting minor, forbidden words depending entirely on which direction they pointed.

Pretty good article on the recent Chiles ruling and the mass hysteria reaction of the homo-left. Although I think the authors still soft-pedal the real issue.

” a consenting minor”

This is a thing?
Which Pedo Group came up with that?

The First Amendment regulates the government. It does not regulate corporations or individuals.

Conversion therapy originally meant using Clockwork Orange methods to cure homosexuality. It was proven *not* to work in clinical trails in the 1950s.

Talking a public school brainwashed child out of castration is not "conversion therapy". That accusation was always slander.

Slander perpetrated by people who should be on trial for crimes against humanity.

I do believe the extreme pain aversion techniques described were over-exaggerated by those seeking to pass these laws. In fact, a LOT of "witness" testimonies presented as "evidence" to pass these laws were found to be false, exaggerated, unverifiable, or even contrived based on a fictional television programs.

The Biden nominated creep Sam Brinton was one such false witness. He went on a campaign to attack anti-homosexual counseling by claiming he was sent to "conversion therapy" by his parents where he was "tortured" as part of his treatment, but listed a fake counseling center and counselor who it turns out was non-existent.

These deviants lie like it's their native tongue.
