‘Conversion Therapy’ and the Constitution

Democrats want voters to believe that the Supreme Court is pushing a right-wing cultural agenda, but that narrative keeps being refuted by liberal Justices. On Tuesday the Court ruled 8-1 that Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy” has an obvious First Amendment problem. Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor joined the majority.

Kaley Chiles is a licensed counselor who offers only talk therapy. She told the Justices she is also a Christian who “believes clients can accept the bodies that God has given them and find peace.” Colorado’s law prohibits counselors from trying to change the sexual “behaviors or gender expressions” of a client who is a minor. The state law explicitly permits, however, providing “assistance to a person undergoing gender transition.”
