The Supreme Court will hear a challenge on Tuesday to Colorado’s “conversion therapy” ban on free speech grounds, the latest clash between First Amendment rights and laws pushed by LGBT advocates.
In Chiles v. Salazar , Kaley Chiles, a licensed counselor in the Centennial State, argues that a law aimed at banning “conversion therapy” unconstitutionally restricts how she may talk with children experiencing gender dysphoria, banning her from trying to dissuade children from changing their gender identities or sexual orientations. Colorado argues the case is regarding healthcare regulations and protecting LGBT people.
