US Supreme Court rules against ban on 'conversion therapy' for LGBTQ minors
The US Supreme Court ruled Tuesday against a Colorado state law banning "conversion therapy" for LGBTQ minors, siding with a Christian therapist who challenged it on the grounds of free speech. At issue is the constitutionality of a 2019 Colorado law that prohibits licensed practitioners from conducting "conversion therapy" on patients under 18. The Guardian Washington DC bureau chief David Smith reports.
