- Title
TORTURE IS NOT PROTECTED SPEECH: FREE SPEECH ANALYSIS OF BANS ON GAY CONVERSION THERAPY.
- Authors
Bracken, Mason D.
- Abstract
The article analyzes the position of the U.S. Supreme Court in the issue of using the free speech right to challenge the bans on gay conversion therapy in the country. It discusses how gays describe the therapy as a torture as it associates same-sex contact with pain. The author examines different cases that upheld the ban on the actual performance of the therapy but failed to prevent practitioners from advocating it to their patients.
