- US Supreme Court rules 8-1 against Colorado conversion therapy ban — The US Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in Chiles v. Salazar that Colorado's 2019 law prohibiting licensed clinicians from seeking to change the gender identity or sexual orientation of youth patients under 18 violates free speech rights. The court found the ban "presumptively unconstitutional" as viewpoint discrimination and remanded the case to an appeals court for strict scrutiny review. Colorado's law remains in effect pending appeal, but the ruling threatens similar bans in 22 other states and raises concerns about states' ability to regulate medical professionals' speech and protect vulnerable youth from harmful practices.
