It's funny that the people suing to block laws banning conversion therapy are basing their argument on the first amendment right of therapists to say whatever they want to patients, while those same people support laws banning doctors from even mentioning abortions to their patients. #hypocracy #conversiontherapy #lgbtqia

#SCOTUS Tuesday sided with a #Christian #therapist, rejecting a #Colorado #law that prohibited #MentalHealth professionals from trying to change the #SexualOrientation or #gender #identity of #LGBTQ minors.
The court’s decision has implications for >20 other states that have similar laws banning [barbaric] so-called #ConversionTherapy, which critics say is ineffective & potentially dangerous for young people.
Conversion therapy is literal nazi science, and we should also be calling it that. Lovaas' ABA framework was the framework Rekers built on, with Lovaas' help, applying the ableist torture schema to a presumed-queer toddler. LGBT and autistic conversion therapy come from the same nazi source. Lovaas was LITERALLY a card-carrying Nazi, arrested for it. He was in Quisling's political party.
