Description

Slate journalist Mark Joseph Stern is back with Court Accountability Action’s Mike Sacks to talk about his recent piece breaking down the Supreme Court’s decision in the conversion therapy case, Chiles v. Salazar. Mark and Mike talk about what exactly the decision said, how LGBTQ+ kids will be directly affected in the short term, and how this could open up a series of First Amendment attacks on other medical procedures in the long term.

Sickening that we're still arguing in favor of people who try to demand that people change who they are to suit their own beliefs

Telling someone not to be who they are is not therapy, it is coercion. No, conversion therapy is not considered a valid medical practice. It is widely discredited by major medical and mental health organizations, which classify it as an ineffective, non-evidence-based practice. It is considered harmful, with no scientific justification, and is opposed for posing serious risks of depression, anxiety, and suicide SCOTUS is an effing joke.

Is affirmation "It's okay to be gay" (a communication of a belief) the same as counselling "Let's try to modify your behavior" (under the incorrect assumption that homosexuality is a chosen behavior)? So is buuly leading to someone un-aliving themselves protected too " Well, you didn't physically attack them, you only belittled them and insulted them until they felt worthless and miserable and unable to go on..that's speech and therefore must be free." WTH is the SCOTUS doing?

Watching Legal AF grow has given me hope that America can recover from the current pathetic regime destroying our country. Thank you for all the work you and your team do!

How about getting states to declare conservatism a mental illness and dangerous to society and have a mandatory conversion therapy where they and their kids have to be shocked and shamed into "conversion"? See how they endure it when it's on the other foot. They started the culture wars.
