Plaintiffs suing gay-to-straight conversion therapy providers under New Jersey’s Consumer Fraud Act can recover not only the cost of the therapy but the money they spend on further therapy to undo the harm it allegedly caused, a state judge ruled on Monday.

The suit, Ferguson v. JONAH, filed in 2012, appears to the first in the U.S. to assert claims for fraud, deception and unconscionable business practices against those who claim they can cure people of homosexuality.
