The reversal follows a year of legal turmoil, including a recent Supreme Court ruling in Colorado that cast doubt on similar bans, prompting the council to avoid further litigation. While Mayor Quinton Lucas, who backed the original ban, joined the repeal, several council members voted no, citing the known harm of conversion therapy. The decision has sparked controversy, as other regions like Colorado strengthen protections, while Jackson County remains undecided.
