Ban on gay therapy, Trump’s executive order, and more on next FOT

Brad Dacus
Pacific Justice Institute

Last week the U. S. Supreme Court refused to take an appeal from a Ninth Circuit ruling, filed by the Pacific Justice Institute, that upheld California’s ban on state-licensed mental health providers from sexual orientation change efforts with minors. Two years ago the Supreme Court also refused to hear an appeal over a similar law in New Jersey.

Joining us Tuesday will be Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute to outline what possible legal avenues are available considering the Supreme Court’s reluctance to hear the matter. In addition, Brad will give us his analysis of President Trump executive order on religious freedom that was signed last week.

After Brad we will be joined by Megan Malinaric, policy director for Colorado Family Action, which was part of a coalition that stopped the enactment of law similar to the California and New Jersey statutes whose appeals were not heard by the Supreme Court.
