| | Christopher Doyle Sues Maryland in Federal Court to Overturn "Conversion Therapy" Ban Law
GREENBELT, MD – Liberty Counsel is in federal district court today seeking
a preliminary and permanent injunction against Maryland's law which
prohibits minors from receiving voluntary counseling from licensed
professionals to reduce or eliminate unwanted same-sex attractions or
gender confusion.
In Doyle v. Hogan, Liberty Counsel represents Christopher Doyle, a licensed professional counselor in Virginia and Maryland. Doyle is challenging Maryland's SB 1028,
which was signed into law by Maryland governor Larry Hogan and went
into effect on October 1, 2018. Doyle is asking the Maryland federal
district court to declare SB 1028 unconstitutional and to impose a
preliminary and permanent injunction against its enforcement. |
| | In June 2018, the Supreme Court gutted two lower court decisions that
held similar therapy bans in California and New Jersey to be
constitutional regulations of professional conduct that did not violate
the First Amendment. Those cases, Pickup v. Brown and King v. Governor of New Jersey,
have been relied upon by numerous other states and cities that have
adopted similar bans. With the Supreme Court's rejection of Pickup and Brown, the therapy bans in California, New Jersey, and other jurisdictions are subject to constitutional challenge.
Liberty Counsel’s Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “This
Maryland counseling ban is an unconstitutional speech restriction that
violates the First Amendment and prevents minors from getting the help
they seek to eliminate or reduce their unwanted same-sex attractions or
gender confusion. The law is a gross intrusion into the fundamental
rights of counselors and clients. No government has the authority to
prohibit a form of counseling simply because it does not like the
religious or moral beliefs of a particular counselor or client,” said
Staver. Click here to read more.

Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which has forced its closure and
shut down its crowdfunding platform.

been about a political organization that is targeting low-hanging fruit
— smaller organizations with little means to defend themselves." Click here to read more. |
| | Reverse Amazon's Decision to Censor Alternative Views on Homosexuality
Last week Amazon abruptly removed several books which represented alternative views on homosexuality. This included a variety of personal testimonies (autobiographies), religious texts, Reparative Therapy, psychological research, and addiction recovery resources. This is tantamount to religious discrimination and discrimination based on sexual orientation.
We are outraged that a smear campaign by one individual (who stated here that he never read these books) could convince Amazon to censor all books, audiobooks, and Kindle material related to our experiences and viewpoints.
For every major issue there are two sides to each story. For one side to be bullied and censored on every platform is counter to the values we have long held in common with Amazon. We demand an immediate reversal of this decision and the restoration of these and all other books that were removed on this topic. Click here to sign the petition. |

| | Trump’s LGBT Pride tweet reinforces the exploitation of sexual minorities 50 years after Stonewall
For the first two years of his administration, President Trump failed to acknowledge June as the official pride month of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. But this year, one day before the start of LGBT Pride, the President tweeted the following:
“As we celebrate LGBT Pride Month and recognize the outstanding contributions LGBT people have made to our great Nation, let us also stand in solidarity with the many LGBT people who live in dozens of countries worldwide that punish, imprison, or even execute individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation. My Administration has launched a global campaign to decriminalize homosexuality and invite all nations to join us in this effort!”
But why would Trump – clearly not a globalist – want to get involved in the international human rights of sexual minorities? Since he took office, the President has failed to make friends with LGBT activists in the United States, almost immediately rolling back Obama-era policies within the Department of Education for gender non-conforming students to use the bathroom of their choice, while placing a ban on military service for transgenders. Most recently, his administration has resisted the Equality Act, which passed the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives but will ultimately be killed in the Senate before reaching his desk.
