Conservative Supreme Court justices appear skeptical of Colorado’s ban on harmful ‘conversion therapy’

A Supreme Court case is challenging Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy for LGBTQ youth. Kaley Chiles, a Christian talk therapist, argues the law violates her First Amendment rights by restricting speech.

The justices, particularly the conservative majority, appeared skeptical of the state’s position, suggesting the ban may constitute viewpoint discrimination. The case could impact similar laws in over 20 states and reshape how speech is regulated in healthcare settings.

Conversion therapy is widely discredited by major medical organizations for being ineffective and harmful, especially to minors.

Supreme Court to Hear Case On Conversion Therapy Ban

The U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to hear Chiles v. Salazar, a high-stakes case challenging Colorado’s law that bans licensed therapists from providing conversion therapy to minors. The plaintiff, Kaley Chiles, argues that the ban violates her First Amendment free speech rights by restricting her ability to counsel clients in line with her pseudo-christian beliefs. 

Colorado contends that the law regulates professional conduct, not protected speech, because conversion therapy is widely discredited and has been linked to harmful outcomes.

Texas universities – particularly within the Texas Tech University System – are implementing sweeping restrictions that effectively ban professors from acknowledging the existence of transgender people in classrooms.
