Episode Details

The Supreme Court is reshaping the legal landscape on conversion therapy, with significant consequences for state and local governments that have enacted bans to protect LGBTQ+ youth. This program examines the constitutional arguments at issue in the recently decided case of Chiles v. Salazar, the lower court conflicts that brought the issue before the Court, and what the ruling means for civil rights protections going forward. Professor Scott Skinner-Thompson, Colorado Law, and Pelecanos, Lambda Legal, bring frontline academic and litigation perspectives to a case that sits at the intersection of free speech, equal protection, and the rights of minors.
