Supreme Court rules against Colorado law banning conversion therapy for LGBTQ minors
The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that Colorado's 2019 law banning conversion therapy for LGBTQ minors violates the First Amendment free speech rights of counselors. The case was brought by Christian counselor Kaley Chiles, who argued the law prevented her from offering faith-based talk therapy to minors who voluntarily sought her services. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion, while Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the lone dissenter.
