Appeals court ruling in California is another sign of conversion therapy industry's collapse | Southern Poverty Law Center

OK I'm a dumb-ass. The post from yesterday concerning the SPLC and the JONAH lawsuit was actually supposed to be this article. The former was for background information and the use of the term "conversion therapy" for some reason had me all fubard. Anyhow, both article are related so no biggie, just couldn't figure out why I was posting a 12 month old article,,,

A ruling by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that upholds California’s ban on conversion therapy for minors, a discredited practice that claims to “cure” people of being gay, is another sign of the collapse of the conversion therapy industry, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The court reaffirmed its earlier decision upholding the ban Wednesday. The ruling means that the only recourse for the therapists challenging the law is the U.S. Supreme Court.

“We are thrilled that the federal appeals court has, for the second time, confirmed that states can protect kids from the harmful practices used in so-called ‘conversion therapy,’” said David Dinielli, SPLC deputy legal director. “Science proves that it doesn’t work. It harms kids, and it tears families apart.”
