"The net effect of this decision will be to strengthen legal protections for young people who are harmed by conversion therapy."
"What we see over and over again from survivors of conversion therapy is it often takes them many years to understand that the problem was not that they personally failed, it was that this therapy was harmful."
California's Senate Bill 934 addresses the Supreme Court's rejection of LGBTQ conversion therapy bans by allowing increased civil damages through malpractice lawsuits. The law extends the statute of limitations for minors to 22 years and aligns damages with those from childhood sexual assault. It also permits a 10-year window for adults suffering psychological harm from conversion therapy. Legal experts believe this law will enhance protections for LGBTQ+ youth despite the Supreme Court's ruling on free speech.
