As reported by
AFP, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday issued an injunction in
Pickup v. Brown barring enforcement pending an appeal, of California's ban on so-called
reparative therapy for minors. The federal district court in the case held that the state's ban on sexual orientation change efforts does not impact 1st Amendment free expression since healthcare treatment is not expressive conduct. (See
