cusideabelincoln 866 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Quote The judges cast skepticism on evidence provided by the defendants showing conversion therapy is harmful enough to justify the speech restrictions, claiming there has not been enough research done on the topic to show actual evidence of the danger it poses, and saying the court “cannot rely” on professional organizations that oppose the practice because organizations can “do an about-face” on their views, as the American Psychiatric Association did when it reversed its opposition to homosexuality. An about-face? These idiots do not understand the scientific method, empirical evidence, peer review... Quote “‘If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable,’” Grant noted in her ruling for the majority, quoting an earlier court ruling. “The challenged ordinances violate that principle.” This is literally an argument in support of prejudice, racism, bigotry, discrimination, libel, slander. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chairslinger 6,170 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Trump judges are going to fuck us for half a century. Opening Arguments just did an episode detailing the case that will likely be used to kill the Lemon Test. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sexy_shapiro 549 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I knew someone who was forced by his parents to go to a conversion camp. It’s terrible. I don’t like that it exists, but if it were to exists it needs to be completely mutual. Forcing minors into it is straight up abuse. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
