YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"The fate of the state's new law banning gay-conversion therapy for underage Californians is uncertain after a federal judge said it may infringe on free-speech rights — and a second jurist disagreed.
U.S. District Judge William Shubb said Monday the law, set to take effect Jan. 1, may inhibit the 1st Amendment rights of therapists who oppose homosexuality. He issued an injunction barring the state from enforcing the measure against three plaintiffs who sued to block it, until he can make a broader ruling on its merits."*
A California law banning gay conversion therapy on the grounds that it does not work and can cause negative effects will be put on hold, at least for for three clinics. Why? On the grounds of free speech. Is this fair? Can a clinic use free speech when it comes to supposed medical treatments? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss the ruling.
