Colorado conversion therapist is allowed to proceed, SCOTUS rules

from The Excerpt

The Supreme Court has issued a major ruling on conversion therapy — siding with a Colorado counselor who argued the state’s ban violated her free speech rights. The decision doesn’t strike down the law outright, but it raises new constitutional questions that could reshape similar bans across the country. USA TODAY Supreme Court correspondent Maureen Groppe breaks down what the court decided, why it was an 8–1 ruling, and what it could mean for LGBTQ+ youth, mental health care, and future legal challenges.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to [email protected]. Episode transcript available here. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
