SCOTUS Nixes Colorado Ban on Controversial LGBTQ 'Conversion Therapy'
In a landmark 8-1 ruling, the Supreme Court struck down Colorado's ban on LGBTQ 'conversion therapy,' citing free speech concerns. This controversial decision reignites the debate over this discredited practice.
In a highly anticipated and controversial ruling, the United States Supreme Court has rejected Colorado's ban on LGBTQ 'conversion therapy' for minors. In an 8-1 decision, the high court ruled that the state's law prohibiting the discredited practice violated the First Amendment's free speech protections.
The case, Reagan v. Colorado, centered on a challenge brought by therapists who argued that the ban infringed on their right to discuss and recommend conversion therapy to clients. The Supreme Court agreed, siding with the therapists and declaring the Colorado law unconstitutional.
