A conservative legal group has stated its intentions to file a lawsuit against New Jersey over a recently signed law banning sexual orientation conversion therapy for minors.

Mat Staver, founder and chairman of The Liberty Counsel, confirmed to The Christian Post on Monday his organization’s plan to file the suit.  “We will be filing suit,” said Staver, adding that the suit should be submitted “later this week.”

On Monday, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed into law A-3371, a bill that would ban the controversial practice of reparative therapy (also called conversion therapy) for minors.  A-3371 enjoyed bipartisan support in the Garden State’s Legislature, with both houses voting overwhelmingly in favor of the bill.  A-3371 was sponsored by Assemblymen Timothy J. Eustace, Herb Conaway, Jr., John J. Burzichelli, Holly Schepisi, and Reed Gusciora. All the sponsors except Republican Schepisi were Democrats.
