"Gov. Chris Christie plans to sign a bill Monday barring licensed therapists from trying to turn gay teenagers straight, making New Jersey the second state to ban so-called conversion therapy, along with California. The bill passed both houses of the New Jersey Legislature with bipartisan support in June."

"A once high-profile opponent of same-sex couples' marriage rights took aim Monday at Gov. Chris Christie's decision to sign legislation into law that would ban therapy aimed at changing the sexual orientation of minors."
" "The new law communicates to gays and lesbians seeking to conform their lives to their values that they are second-glass [sic] citizens, without the same right to seek help that other people enjoy. It is a right of self-determination that Gov. Christie has shut down," Gallagher said in a statement in her role as chairman of the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund."

Cheer up Maggie. It's still legal to convert trans people.
"Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund?" Really?
Do they know how ridiculous their organization names are?
