SCOTUS Rejects Challenge To WA Ex-Gay Torture Ban

As I previously reported, the ADF first filed its lawsuit in May 2021 and lost in US district court in September 2021 before losing again before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in September 2022.

According to Brian Tingley’s resume, he’s led seminars on “authentic manhood” and “true masculinity.”


Before that, he wrote and produced commercials for car dealerships, bingo halls, and county fairs.


As I’ve reported many times over the years, ex-gay torture therapists often end up rejecting their work and coming out as gay themselves. And sometimes, they are arrested for sexually assaulting their clients.

Then there are the ones that are busted trolling online for gay sex, such as the nationally prominent therapist caught cruising Manhunt in 2018 as HotNHairy72.
The Alliance Defending Freedom, whose lead attorney was once House Speaker Mike Johnson, has advocated for criminalizing homosexuality in the United States and has provided free legal support to foreign groups seeking the same in their own countries.

 

 

Hey! Let’s debate the Holocaust!

Hey! let’s debate slavery!

Hey! Let’s debate murder and rape!

“Teach the controversy!”

Let’s debate which groups we can or cannot have genocidal practices!

 

My sexuality is not a “debate.” It’s a fact of life, just as a straight person’s sexuality is a fact of life. Just because these religious whack jobs are too stupid to understand that should not be my problem.

They understand…the cruelty is the point.

Maybe they should debate the weather, or gravity, or something. All as changeable as sexuality, and just as unnatural. /s

Ladybird Bachmann is surely sobbing into the sleeve of his caftan.

He’ll do what he always does…finding ways to fill his emptiness & sorrow.

His “exgay” shop is in MN, not WA. It’s also still open even though MN has banned “exgay” torture as well (by eo in 2021 and statute this year).

WA: “No torturing”
Alito and Thomas: “Wait!! Christians should get to torture!!!”

Christians have a long and glorious history of torture. “It’s tradition.”

Deeply held beliefs

That is basically what it comes down to: the perception that one has a religious right to bully people to death.

The decision received separate dissenting opinions from Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.

 

Evergreen opinions, paid for by Leonard Leo and the Vatican.

What are we coming to, when good, god-fearing christo-fascists can’t torture kids?

No one is stopping him from saying his beliefs. What they are doing is preventing him from imposing them on others through the guise of medical treatment and accepting money for it.
You can also believe massage cures cancer but you can not put out a medical shingle and take money for curing cancer through massage.

Or you can believe blood letting cures depression but you can not charge for this as a medical treatment.
We have medical standards based on science.

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. Thomas claimed that Washington had “silenced one side of this debate”

I had no idea that basic human rights, torturing children & wonton abuse were up for debate.

They are so full of it. No side has been “silenced.” But to them, unless they are forcing their beliefs upon the populace, you are silenced.

Give evangelicals a nanometer and they will steal a light-year from under our noses.

The more right wingers are silenced, the louder they get all over social media and right wing tv and radio. They are the only silenced people who are deafeningly loud.

Brian Tingley, a licensed marriage and family counselor, said the law violates his free speech rights under the Constitution’s First Amendment because the government is seeking to dictate what he says.

No, the gov’t is still letting you “say” anything you want. They are regulating how you conduct your business so that you don’t harm your patients.

What the government is saying they are not going to pay for the mumbo jumbo via Medicaid or approve it for reimbursement by insurance companies. It is not banned, you just have to pay for the religious practice yourself.

Under this argument, any restrictions the FDA puts on medical advertisement is also invalid.

Exactly right. The courts have long recognized that commercial speech is more subject to regulation than other kinds of speech. Tingley et al. are trying to argue that it is religious speech in a commercial context. Um, sorry, no.

” Tingley et al. are trying to argue that it is religious speech in a commercial context. “.

This shows their goal is to erase the separation of church and state and turn the U.S. into a theocracy.

Authentic manhood ? He looks like my creepy social studies teacher who was always inviting us over fro all guy nights. Yuck!

Very telling that the two “judges” who many people say take the most bribes are the ones who demand a Constitutional right to commit fraud.
