Supreme Court to review Colorado's conversion therapy ban

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case challenging Colorado's ban on "conversion therapy" for minors. This decision comes after the Court declined to review a similar case from Washington state last year. The case, Chiles v. Salazar, involves a therapist who argues the law violates her First Amendment rights. The Colorado law, enacted in 2019, prohibits licensed therapists from attempting to change a minor's sexual orientation or gender identity. Critics of the law claim it infringes on free speech and limits access to mental health care. The Colorado Attorney General supports the law, stating it protects individuals from harmful practices.
