California trying to pass very vaguely written bill that could limit free speech for Christians and Christians only.

"David French, a constitutional lawyer and a columnist for the National Review, said the bill is troubling.

“It is a horribly written bill,” French told Facts & Trends. “What they have done is taken an idea—and that idea is conversion therapy—and labeled that idea as a fraudulent business practice, and then banned commercial transactions involving that idea.”

French said the bill defines the term “sexual orientation change practices” so broadly that even teaching about traditional Christian views of sexuality could be included.

The bill says, “‘Sexual orientation change efforts’ means any practices that seek to change an individual’s sexual orientation. This includes efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions, or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals of the same sex.”

Still, French said, the bill doesn’t ban the sale of Bibles or religious meetings. But it is so broadly written that it could ban some Christian books, he said.

And French doesn’t expect Christian books to be banned at the local Barnes & Noble.

“It is hard for me to imagine the state attorney general—or whoever is charged with enforcing the law—going around and trying to purge books from the shelf,” he said.
