Will the US Supreme Court allow for bigoted and harmful conversion “therapy”?

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.
