Episode Details

The Supreme Court has ruled against Colorados ban on conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ minors, stating it targets speech based on viewpoint and needs strict scrutiny. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the opinion, emphasizing the First Amendment protects free speech in therapy talks. The case returns to a lower court to determine if the ban holds up. Governor Jared Polis and Attorney General Phil Weiser disagree with the ruling, prioritizing youth protection and science-based care. Medical groups warn conversion therapy doesnt work and increases depression and suicide risks in youth. At least twenty-two other states with similar bans may face lawsuits. Two liberal justices issued a warning about potential implications for affirming therapy bans, while the lone dissenter expressed concerns about allowing professionals to push unproven treatments under free speech claims.
