#SupremeCourt takes case that could strip #FCC of authority to issue fines

Oh gods! The US Supreme Court is going to hear a case on the Constitutionality of conversion therapy bans. Given the Court's proven track record of ingnoring the rights of minorities, especially LGBT minorities, this is a looming disaster.

I was sent to conversion therapy by my parents when I was 12 and they found out I was trans. I lied to get out of it and hid and repressed myself for years because of it

It's the final act of pure #authoritarianism.

Now you know why the barricades...
