Federal Judge bans LIA from 'treating' gay people
Edited on Sat Oct-22-05 11:50 AM by d59cy6
(Memphis, Tennessee) A federal judge has refused to allow Love In Action ministry, which claims to counsel gay clients to turn straight, to continue "treating people".

An injunction was sought against an order from the state Department of Mental Health & Developmental Disabilities, which found that the organization's two Memphis facilities were controlling patients' access to their prescription medication and thus needed to be licensed as a mental health facility.

4. Thank god.
For these people it's only a hop skip and jump from "the cure" to "the final solution."

5. I've said this before: use the laws, courts and litigation
to hit the bigots in their wallets.
