Utah Bans Conversion Therapy

So when did Democrats defend allowing religious or sexual discrimination as "religious freedom"?

Anti-vaxxers have been enabled by some Democrat local and state governments which have granted them religious exemptions to their kids needing to be vaccinated to attend school. Some Republicans are complicit too but it isn't only the Republicans who use religion to excuse bad behavior.

Cannibalism has been illegal for a good while now, so you shouldn't have been getting it on before this either.

I'm glad that it's being outlawed, but tbh it's not the state's place to instigate social change.

I'm glad we're on the same page with regards to this issue - businesses should be the primary instigators of social change, particularly that which is related to sexuality.

That sure worked well with the Civil Rights Movement.

They shouldn't have passed this in your view? What is their role then?

[Agarntrop]

Well, for a state which only repealed its sodomy statute a few months ago, its come a long way.

Yes it did.

The sodomy statute was not enforced recently prior to its repeal.

Considering how much businesses have contributed to fucking up the planet, I trust them as far as I can throw them.

Conversion Therapy should be illegal for those under 18, and it should be illegal if not consented to. I'm libertarian, so I believe if someone wants to go down that path they should be able to of their own accord once they are of mature age to understand the consequences and ramifications of it.

I know, it was struck down in 2003, but it was still in place until 2019 and the house of Representatives actually refused to repeal it in 2007, iirc.

Today I learned businesses integrated Little Rock.

Most bans outlaw it if it’s not consensual.

[Czechostan]

This is excellent news.

I would like to know more about the consenting adults who voluntarily go to conversion therapy. I'm sure there are some but I have to imagine an adult who thinks they want this have been severely gaslighted by their homophobic families or peers.

So that's good.

[Sundiata]

While I don't encourage the practice, I don't believe adults should be barred from choosing it.

[Ethan Allen]

Is it an outright ban?
