US EditionUS Supreme Court girds for culture wars with LGBT, guns and race cases
The Supreme Court will tackle key culture war cases including bans on conversion therapy, transgender athletes in sports, gun rights, and racial gerrymandering disputes.
- On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court begins its new nine-month term, hearing cases on transgender athletes, Democratic-backed Colorado conversion therapy law, guns and race issues.

- Supporters and critics clash over the evidence behind conversion-therapy rules as Georgetown University law professor Stephanie Barclay says there is no proof of harm, while Democratic Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser links therapy to depression and suicide.
