Following a controversial Supreme Court decision striking down Colorado’s conversion therapy ban, advocates gathered in solidarity at the site of America’s most famous LGBTQ+ protest.

Many of New York’s most prominent activists, from conversion therapy survivors to celebrated drag queens, came together for an emergency rally at Stonewall National Monument.

“I am a trans, queer woman, and I am a nurse,” said Qween Amor, an activist and a registered nurse. “I am standing at Stonewall because something dangerous just happened, and we cannot pretend that it didn't.”

Is there ever any time that these perverts are NOT outraged?

They can't have other people's children, and that outrages them.

A very telling comment from one of the outraged speakers.

“... if you are a parent sending your child to conversion therapy, you don’t have a right to be a parent.”

[Regulator]

Homofacists mad they can’t muzzle people anymore.

[Steely Tom]

OUTRAGE !

[lee martell]

That’s a very good question.
When are the leaders of that movement NOT ‘outraged’ or in crisis mode?

[Fungi]

“I am a trans, queer woman, and I am a nurse mental case with a severe mental problem,” How it should read.

a controversial Supreme Court decision

It was 8-1 with not only Kagan but also the "Wise Latina" Sotomayor. That's how far off base these people are - even Sotomayor is too conservative for them.

“... if you are a parent sending your child to conversion therapy, you don’t have a right to be a parent.”

A "non-controversial statement" per the writers of this piece, I guess.

[Orosius]

“conversion therapy survivors”

More flagrant abuse of the English language.

[Rummyfan]

Eff all these perverts.

[Rummyfan]

“I am a trans, queer woman, and I am a nurse,” said Qween Amor...

Just what I want in my nurse. /sarcasm

[EvilCapitalist]

What did they do? Some dancing like at the Blue Oyster Bar in the Police Academy movies?

[KC_Conspirator]

The anti groomers are mad.

[j.havenfarm]

One of the most abused words in the English language

[italianquaker]

Yes and at 40 you will need a prostate exam

[KarlInOhio]

So much for freedom of choice by the patient.

[55Ford]

So, the Supreme Court did a good thing.
This is how it’s spun on Google:
Conversion therapy refers to a range of discredited practices aimed at changing an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity to align with heterosexual and cisgender norms. These practices are widely rejected by medical and mental health organizations due to their ineffectiveness and potential to cause significant psychological harm.

Some news just brightens one’s day.

[LeonardFMason]

How QUEER!

[lastchance]

I wonder if they are referring to therapy that involved the use of drugs or physical methods of conversions. Such things were not unheard of and those methods were not before SCOTUS at all. This was a free speech case not a medical malpractice one.
