Supreme Court sides with therapist in challenge to Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy”

A recent decision by the nation's highest court has implications for local laws. The court ruled in favor of a therapist who challenged a state ban. This ban affects treatment for young people. The therapist argued that the ban discriminates based on expressed views. The court agreed that a stricter review standard should be applied. This standard is used to determine if laws violate certain rights. Further details about the decision and its potential impact are available from SCOTUSblog. The court's ruling may have significant effects, but the full extent is not yet clear from the initial information.
