Supreme Court Case on Conversion Therapy Laws

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case regarding conversion therapy laws in Colorado and several other states that prohibit licensed counselors from offering services to minors who wish to change their sexual orientation or gender identity. The case centers on a therapist named Kaylee Childs, who argues that these laws infringe on her right to free speech and her ability to provide Christian-based counseling to clients. Childs claims that her clients seek help to reduce unwanted sexual attractions or behaviors, emphasizing the legal and ethical tensions inherent in the debate. The outcome of this case is expected to have significant implications not only in Colorado but also in other states with similar laws, potentially setting a nationwide precedent for the treatment of such counseling practices in the context of freedom of speech and religious liberty.
