The United States Supreme Court on Tuesday supported a challenge to a Colorado law that prohibited so-called “conversion therapy” aimed at changing the sexual orientation or gender identity of an LGTBI minor.
In an 8-1 ruling, the justices overturned a lower court’s decision that had upheld the rule in a case brought by Kaley Chiles, who argued that it violated the First Amendment protections of the United States Constitution against government restriction of free speech.
Colorado Democratic Governor Jared Polis, the first openly gay man elected US state governor and a critic of conversion therapies, signed the law into law in 2019. Republican President Donald Trump’s administration backed Chiles in challenging the law.
