On Thursday, in a first-of-its-kind trial in New Jersey, gay conversion therapy was put on the stand and was ultimately found guilty by a jury of consumer fraud. This ruling not only comes at a time when gay marriage has been legalized nationwide, but is the first to outwardly condemn this altogether inhumane form of “treatment.” According to The Daily Beast, conversion therapy remains legal in mostly every state in the U.S., despite the outward condemnation by the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association. This case, however, may be one step closer to changing that.
