Suit Challenges New Jersey Ban On Sexual Orientation Conversion Therapy

AP reports on a federal lawsuit filed last Friday challenging New Jersey's ban on sexual orientation conversion therapy for minors. Alleging 1st and 14th Amendment violations, the suit, filed by parents of a 15-year old boy, claims that the ban:

den[ies] minors the opportunity to pursue a particular course of action that can help them address the conflicts between their religious and moral values and same-sex attractions, behaviors or identity.

A similar challenge was filed in August by different plaintiffs. (See prior posting.)

UPDATE: Here is the full text of the complaint in Doe v. Christie, (D NJ, filed 11/1/2013).
