The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a Colorado therapist who challenged state law preventing mental health providers from using widely discredited “conversion therapy” against LGBT+ young people, what advocates called a “painful” and “reckless” decision that will reverberate across the country.
The high court’s nearly unanimous decision, with only liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting, is likely to impact more than 20 states with similar laws against trying to change a young person’s sexual orientation or gender identity or expression.
