Is it legal to restrict licensed individuals from pursuing their client's therapy goals?

Freedom Federation, Salt & Light Council, and the National House of Hope. He serves as Vice President of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership
Conference, and was Vice President of Liberty University, as well as a former Dean and law professor.

Mat has over 300 published legal opinions. He authored eight scholarly law review publications, and many books and publications. He is a frequent guest
on many international and national television and radio programs and has been interviewed for thousands of media sources.
Mat has filed numerous briefs and argued in many federal and state courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. He has argued two landmark cases before SCOTUS:
Madsen v. Women's Health Center, and, McCreary County v. ACLU of Kentucky.
Prior to law school, Mat pastored several churches.
In Otto v. City of Boca Raton, therapist Robert Otto sued the city for the right to talk with clients about their feelings of sexual attraction, the impact
of those feelings, and strategies for improving the quality of their lives. The City of Boca Raton had passed an ordinance criminalizing “conversion
therapy,” or “reparative therapy,” or, Sexual Orientation Change Efforts.
It is simply not true that sexual orientation is an immutable trait. There is no "gay gene." But if the Sexual Revolutionaries can convince people that
gay is like being black, then they can apply anti-discrimination law to sexual behavior.
The scientific fact is that there are numerous ways into an LGBT lifestyle, and there are numerous ways out. The Dr J Show has featured many people who
left the "gay" lifestyle, happily.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit agreed with Mat Staver that this particular form of speech must not be banned.
Topics discussed in this episode include:
California's "Reproductive FACT Act" made it criminal for counselors to help clients with unwanted same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria.
Anti-reparative therapy bans are LGBTQIA+ propaganda to keep hurting people imprisoned in their conflict.
Anti-reparative therapy laws are viewpoint-based, where the State determines which views are allowed and which views are criminal.
There is no evidence that reparative therapy harms clients.
In many cases, the State has admitted they need more research, which only proves they have no evidence to criminalize therapy.
the significance of Trump-appointed, originalist/constitutionalist judges
conflict of interest among judges in the liberal courts
99.1% of Californians are not allowed corporate worship -- under threat of huge fines and jail time.
The State of California has decreed that 99.1% of Christians cannot:
worship corporately
have a home Bible Study with a pastor
have a deacon come pray for them
ALL these cases denying religious freedom have in common pro-abortion, pro-sodomy Democrat politicians and judges.
There's no evidence that minors are helped longterm by transgender treatments.
Many people --including politicians and even judges-- believe the lie that reparative counseling involves torture.
Just as the Sexual State doesn't want women in unplanned pregnancies to know they have options, so the Sexual State doesn't want those suffering from
unwanted same-sex attractions to know that they have hope of normalcy.
Thousands of former "gays" HAVE changed, very happily.
The liberal courts created a category limiting free speech for pro-life centers & Christian counselors, and called it "professional speech."
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected California's argument that linked reparative therapy ban-reasoning with forcing pro-life centers to advertise abortion
because licensed therapists & centers do not have free speech.

Tracy Shannon is mother of 4 blessings and a grandmother. She has studied what she calls the “neo-morality movement” for 20 years. Tracy’s family was profoundly
impacted by the transgender movement many years ago, and that moved Tracy from the sidelines (merely protecting her own children from being inducted
into "new" sexual mores) and onto the battlefront in the culture wars. Recently, Tracy has taken on Drag Queen Story Hours in Texas and across the
country. She exposed how libraries determined to introduce children to adult entertainers and transsexuals disregarded their own policies allowing
sex offenders to be held out as role models to young children in taxpayer-funded public libraries. Tracy is the Texas Director for MassResistance Texas,
and led parents there in pushing back against the debauched drag queen program for children as young as four. She has also contributed to research
of the programs across the nation and helped parents in several states push back against this programming.

(October 25, 2019) This Friday, we have some urgent action items for you with regards to a breaking case in Texas. James Younger, a 7-year-old boy, appears
to be being forced to live as a girl by his non-biological mother. He is in danger of being chemically and possibly surgically transitioned in addition
to being forced to wear dresses, a train of craziness that began when he watched "Frozen" and liked the character Elsa. We're making available hotlines
to Governor Abbott, petitions, and generally raising awareness, which may have an effect on Judge Kim Cooks' handling of this case. More details in
this special breaking news episode of The Dr J Show.
Governor Abbott's opinion hotline is (512) 463-1782 or gov.texas.gov/contact, to reach Texas governor Greg
Abbott. The Judge handling this case is Democrat Kim Cooks of the 255th Family District Court. The hashtag for this issue is #SaveJames. Keep the heat
on!
