Two South Florida therapists have challenged local laws that prohibit them for practicing so-called "conversion therapy" on minors. At stake is whether local governments can protect LGBTQ+ youth from this thoroughly discredited and dangerous practice.  The ruling could have implications throughout the 11th Circuit (Florida, Georgia, Alabama), and the case may eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court. Join our Virtual Town Hall for analysis of the decision, how it may affect current laws and protections, and where we go from here.

More Town Halls Soon!
