A federal appeals court on Friday put the brakes on a first-of-its-kind California law that bans therapy aimed at turning gay minors straight.

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued an emergency order putting the law on hold until the court can hear full arguments on the measure's constitutionality. The law was set to take effect Jan. 1.

Licensed counselors who practice so-called "reparative therapy" and two families who say their teenage sons have benefited from it sought the injunction after a lower court judge refused the request.

The protection of "parental rights" is at issue here.

Our world seems unable to find its compass. Almost forty years ago the APA re-classified homosexuality from mental disorder to normal and now reparative therapy that helps those who don't like being homosexual gets outlawed.
