Hate Group Sues To Overturn WA’s Ex-Gay Torture Ban

The Christian Post reports:

A licensed therapist is suing Washington state over its ban on sexual orientation counseling for minors, a practice described by critics as “conversion therapy.”

In a lawsuit filed last Thursday in the U.S. District Court of the Western District of Washington at Tacoma, licensed marriage and family therapist Brian Tingley contends that Senate Bill 5722 constitutes a “denial of free speech rights” that is guaranteed by the First Amendment.

The legal nonprofit Alliance Defending Freedom, which is devoted to defending First Amendment rights, represents the plaintiff in his legal proceedings.

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.

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.
