A hate group is suing for the right to mentally torture LGBTQ kids in Maryland.

'Liberty Counsel, a right-wing anti-LGBTQ group, is seeking a federal injunction against a new anti-conversion therapy law in Maryland. The group has been deemed an anti-LGBTQ hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The group is representing Christopher Doyle, an “ex-gay therapist” who threatened to file an FTC complaint against LGBTQ organizations for “false advertising” that someone can’t be “cured” of being gay.

The law defines conversion therapy as “a practice or treatment by a mental health or child care practitioner that seeks to change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity” that “includes any effort to change the behavioral expression of an individual’s sexual orientation, change gender expression, or eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals of the same gender

There is no credible evidence that shows the process to be successful, and a growing body that shows it leads to issues with self-esteem, depression, substance abuse and suicidal behavior.'>>>
