A conservative law firm is suing state officials in federal court challenging Wisconsin’s ban on conversion therapy, arguing it amounts to unconstitutional “viewpoint discrimination.”

The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, or WILL, announced the litigation Wednesday, saying it filed suit on behalf of licensed counselors Terri Koschnick and Joy Buchman, who both provide Christian faith-based counseling services.

Gov. Tony Evers, Department of Safety and Professional Services Secretary Dan Hereth and members of the Wisconsin Marriage and Family Therapy, Professional Counseling, and Social Work Examining Board are named as defendants in the suit.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

I've never seen such an uproar over something that doesn't affect these sodomites IN THE LEAST and is NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS.

Yep, just like animosity toward whites is the only bigotry that is officially allowed.

I could site other articles that the ban is not “viewpoint discrimination”, but here are three. The last link points out that this care (?) is politically determined in the US and not medically determined as in Europe

Why is it OK for the kiddie-fvckers to groom children, though unlawful for anyone to rescue them? Homosexualists were molested and abused as children, that’s the problem.

They are methodically codifying ritual child rape into law. I don’t understand how this happens. When I was growing up even the liberal Democrats would have roasted these MFers over a spit. That’s “Progress” for you, I guess.

Meanwhile, they’ll give puberty blockers to young men, and lop off the breasts of young women! How’s that for conversion therapy!

Hasn’t SCOTUS already ruled on this issue?

Why yes it has!

“Supreme Court sides with therapist in challenge to Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy””

Colorado has already, swiftly, passed another law trying to skirt the Supreme Court decision. They are now enhancing the ability to sue for claimed “damages” from this type of counseling and removing all statutes of limitations.

In other words, they are inviting lying faggots to come forward, with no evidence other than their word and hurt feelings, to inundate counselors from 20 years ago with lawsuits to shut them down and bankrupt them.

They contradict themselves. This in their logic should be considered someone being “trans sexual orientation”, right? I mean, to be consistent. Therefore, they should believe it is possible a straight person can be born in a gay person’s body and need to “transition”...

(from our perspective of reality, it is a different issue, yes, but I’m just saying from their supposed ‘logic’ of these kinds of issues, they should support someone ‘transitioning’)
