Three days after New Jersey became the second state to outlaw gay-to-straight conversion therapy for minors, it also became the second one to be sued.
The plaintiffs, in King v. Christie, filed in federal court in Trenton on Aug. 22, seek to strike down the law for violating the First Amendment rights to free speech and free exercise of religion and parallel state constitutional guarantees.
They further assert infringement of a First Amendment “right to receive information” and raise children consistent with their religious beliefs.
