CWN Editor's Note: Officials of Catholic Charities in Michigan have joined with a Lansing therapist to challenge a new state law that outlaws “conversion therapy” for young people who are confused about their sexual identity.
In their suit the plaintiffs—Catholic Charities of Jackson, Lenawee and Hillsdale counties and licensed therapist Emily McJones—argue that the law restricts their free speech and religious freedom. They say that their treatments “have helped clients change their behavior and gender expression in ways that better align with the clients’ own unique goals for their lives—including by accepting and embracing their biological sex.”
