Quote(s):
"Three months after the Waterloo City Council passed a ban on #ConversionTherapy for minors, the council reversed its decision in a 4-3 vote Monday.
[...] Richard Mast of anti- #LGBTQ #Florida group Liberty Counsel, [...] sent a letter to the City of Waterloo on June 30 threatening costly litigation 'on behalf of a client whose #FirstAmendment rights are even now being violated by this 'speech' ban.” (Air quotes mine)
