Fed court strikes down Tampa's ban on counseling for minors seeking freedom | Eastern NC Now

Struck down Tampa, Florida's ban against talk therapy

ENCNow

The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has struck down Tampa, Florida's ban against talk therapy for minors seeking freedom from unwanted same-sex attraction.

The city had tried to block licensed therapists from providing voluntary counseling to those minors. The federal appeals court ruled on Thursday that the ban is unconstitutional under the First Amendment.

In 2019, federal Judge William F. Jung had already ruled that Tampa's ban may restrict patients' rights to privacy and parents' rights to choose health care for their children. Jung also refuted the made-up term "conversion therapy" that activists and the establishment news media frequently use.
