A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit has affirmed with all consensus that Washington state’s law protecting minors from conversion therapy is constitutional. The ninth circuit stated that based on the body of evidence it has accompanied by the medical recommendations of expert organizations, the Washington Legislature acted rationally by amending its regulatory scheme and adding ‘performing conversion therapy on a patient under age eighteen’ to the list of unprofessional conduct for the health professions. Washington and 20 other states have restricted licensed mental health professionals from subjecting minors to conversion therapy. The Ninth and Third Circuits, federal district courts in Maryland, Florida, and Illinois uphold these laws. Find more at www.washingtonblade.com
