The three states of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals - Florida, Alabama and Georgia – are subject to a preliminary injunction preventing the enforcement of conversion therapy bans, after the court decided in 2020 that legislating against the practice would violate the First Amendment.Other states, such as Arizona and Wisconsin, have passed partial bans.
