US Supreme Court seems skeptical toward Colorado LGBT 'conversion therapy' ban
The Supreme Court is reviewing if Colorado's 2019 ban on conversion therapy for minors violates therapists' free speech rights amid 23 states with similar laws.
- The U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing a case that challenges Colorado's ban on conversion therapy for minors, which critics say limits free speech rights, according to Kaley Chiles, the counselor involved in the case.
- Kaley Chiles argues that the Colorado law infringes on her First Amendment rights by preventing her from providing faith-based counseling, while state attorneys assert the law regulates harmful treatments, not speech.
- The Department of Justice, expressing significant interest in the case, supports Chiles and argues that restrictions against conversion therapy should face strict scrutiny as potential violations of free speech.
- A ruling is expected by the end of June and could have significant implications for LGBTQ+ rights across the country.
