Hoylman Decries Failure of NYS Senate to Pass “Gay Conversion Ban” in Light of Supreme Court Decision Upholding California Law
June 30, 2014
“The Supreme Court's decision today to decline to hear a challenge to California's law prohibiting so-called ‘gay conversion therapy’ for minors is a milestone in our fight to outlaw this harmful and widely-discredited practice by licensed mental health providers. The court’s decision is also a sad and embarrassing reminder how New York lags behind other states that are protecting LGBT kids. It’s shameful that we can’t get the same legislation to the floor of the State Senate because of obstructionism by the Republican leadership -- even though it had the votes (35) to pass.”
