🚨11th Circuit rules that bans on anti-LGBTQ "conversion therapy" violate the First Amendment. 2–1 decision, both judges in the majority appointed by Trump. A really awful and frightening decision. https://media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/files/201910604.pdf…

LGBTQ hating Evangelical Christians who support Trump are deeply twisted individuals.

Some sort of conversion therapy involving cattle prods might be appropriate.
