UPDATE: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie signed a bill Monday banning gay conversion therapy on minors in the state.
The governor has said in the past he opposes controversial programs that seek to “fix” homosexuals through intensive therapy that the scientific community has shunned. In a signing note acquired by the Associated Press, Christie says that he believes homosexuality is not a sin and training to change a LGBT child creates more health concerns than the therapy seeks to remedy.
The bill he signed bars licensed therapists from trying to covert gay youths to a heterosexual lifestyle.
