Members of the New York City Council plan to repeal a nearly 2-year-old ban on LGBT “conversion therapy” to avoid a lawsuit that, if it reaches the Supreme Court, could establish a legal precedent protecting the practice, The New York Times reported (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/12/nyregion/conversion-therapy-ban-nyc.html?login=smartlock&auth=login-smartlock).
The city measure, passed in 2017, bans the selling of “services intended to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity” and is the subject of a lawsuit by the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian organization that opposes abortion and LGBT rights and alleges the law criminalizes free speech.
