Supreme Court blocks Colorado's so-called 'conversion therapy' ban on First Amendment grounds

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Colorado can’t enforce its "conversion therapy" ban regarding conversations between therapists and clients, saying the law likely violates the First Amendment by allowing some viewpoints but not others.

In an 8–1 decision, the court said the law favors one viewpoint by allowing therapists to affirm a client’s gender identity or sexual orientation, but not help them change it if they want to.
