Maryland Change Therapy Bill Withdrawn, Minnesota Bill Dead On Arrival
Last Friday, March 14, 2014, Maryland Delegate Jon Cardin held a joint press conference with Equality Maryland to announce the death of HB 91, the bill that was proposing to ban Sexual Orientation Change Effort (SOCE) therapy for minors. While Cardin claimed that the reason the bill was withdrawn was due to the existing regulatory oversight protections that are already in place to protect youth from "harmful conversion therapy," the real reason was because of the bill's lack of support within his own party. In reality, the unconstitutional notion of taking away the rights of individuals with unwanted same-sex attractions did not sit well with Maryland legislators, and with Cardin engaged in the race for Attorney General, he was not about to take a chance that this bill would fail. The timing of the press conference (Friday) was also indicative that Cardin wanted very little attention on the withdraw of this bill.

As a response to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals' refusal to hear an appeal over the 2012 California law prohibiting Sexual Orientation Change Effort (SOCE) therapy for minors, it has been open season for anti-therapy activists. To compliment existing laws in New Jersey and the Golden State, legislation has also been introduced in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Washington, Ohio, Washington, D.C., Florida, Minnesota, New York, Maryland, Hawaii, Virginia, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Pundits across the political spectrum are anticipating more laws to come in 2014.

| | UK High Court Orders Full Disclosure from Mayor of London Over Ex-Gay Discrimination
At the end of January Lord Dyson, the Master of the Rolls (the second
most senior judge in England) made a historic ruling concerning a bus
advert: Not gay! Ex-gay, post-gay and proud! Get over it!
For
those unaware of the sage this advert was due to run on buses in
London, on behalf of CORE Issues Trust, in response to the Stonewall
adverts: Some People are gay. Get over it! but was suddenly
banned by Transport for London because of it supposedly being
“offensive,” despite it having passed the censors at the Advertising
Authority. While the High Court had not overturned the ban it found that
the original Stonewall advert should not have been run because it was
offensive, a ruling that Stonewall ignored when they reran these adverts
before Christmas in 2013. Thankfully the Court of Appeal agreed that
the Stonewall advert was offensive, despite Transport for London
disagreeing.
