Do you have an experience with ‘conversion therapy’? Share your story

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a religious counselor’s challenge to Colorado’s law prohibiting ‘conversion therapy’ for LGBTQ youth. The decision asserts that the legislation may infringe upon free speech protections. This ruling might undermine broader safeguards for LGBTQ individuals nationwide.

Although the court’s ruling doesn’t formally repeal Colorado’s ban, it instructs a federal lower court to reassess the law under the most rigorous constitutional standards. Laws like Colorado’s could face challenges if they fail to meet these heightened requirements.
