NJ Parents Suing Chris Christie Over Gay Conversion Therapy Ban

Want to "treat" their teen son

|

A southern New Jersey couple has sued Gov. Chris Christie over his signing of a bill banning so-called gay conversion therapy, claiming it violates their constitutional rights.

The couple, who isn't identified in the court papers filed Friday, claims the law violates their rights to free speech and free exercise of religion because it prevents them from seeking treatment for their 15-year-old son.
