Catholics Sue To Overturn Michigan’s Ban On Ex-Gay Torture
A group of Catholic therapists is arguing in a federal lawsuit that Michigan’s recent ban on conversion therapy for minors limits their ability to counsel children who have questions about gender identity. Emily Jones, a Lansing-based Catholic counselor, and Catholic Charities filed the lawsuit. It claims the law banning conversion therapy – a widely discredited practice of trying to change an LGBTQ person’s sexual orientation or gender identity – violates a right to free speech and free exercise of religion.
Michigan became the 22nd state to ban conversion therapy for minors when Gov. Whitmer, who called it a “horrific practice,” signed the legislation last year.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
