Missouri AG Sues To Overturn Ex-Gay Torture Bans

February 14, 2025 Christianists, Republicans

Kansas City’s NBC affiliate reports:

A group of Christian counselors and Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey have filed a lawsuit against the city of Kansas City and Jackson County over their conversion-therapy bans. In 2023, the Jackson County Legislature passed an ordinance banning the practice.

The city of Kansas City banned conversion therapy in 2019, an effort led by KCMO Mayor Quinton Lucas. Among other things, the lengthy 124-page lawsuit argues the ordinances violate the first amendment rights of counselors. In a statement, Jackson County Executive Frank White, Jr. said the county stands by its policy and stands ready to defend it in court.

“To our LGBTQ+ friends, family, and neighbors: you are loved, you are valued, and we will never stop fighting to ensure you have a safe place here. We will not allow fear or prejudice to dictate public policy. We stand on the side of love, equality, and human dignity.”

In fact, one such “therapist” pleaded guilty just this week. And we must mention the notorious Orthodox Jewish ex-gay torture “therapist” exposed in 2018 for trolling gay hookup sites with the username HotnHairy72.
