US Supreme Court seems skeptical toward Colorado LGBT 'conversion therapy' ban
The Supreme Court weighs whether Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy infringes on free speech rights of counselors amid concerns over mental health risks and state regulation.
- The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing the case Chiles v. Salazar, which questions Colorado's law banning conversion therapy for minors, affecting licensed counselors but not religious ones.
- Kaley Chiles argues the ban violates her First Amendment rights by restricting her communication with clients.
- Colorado officials, including Patty Salazar and Attorney General Phil Weiser, defend the law as necessary to protect minors from harmful practices, stating that conversion therapy is "unsafe and ineffective."
- During the oral arguments, justices expressed skepticism about the state's ability to regulate speech in therapy settings and indicated that they may favor Chiles.
