Colorado Lawmakers Propose Bill Allowing LGBTQ Individuals to Sue for Conversion Therapy Damages
This podcast episode discusses a new bill introduced in Colorado that would enable LGBTQ individuals to sue those who subjected them to conversion therapy, seeking damages for the harm caused. The therapy, which aims to change someones sexual orientation or gender identity, has been banned in the state since 2019. Medical groups warn that it is ineffective and often leads to serious mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. The bill, sponsored by representatives Alex Valdez and Karen McCormick, and senators Lisa Cutter and Kyle Mullica, would allow people to win economic losses and punitive awards by showing the therapy played a significant role in their mental health struggles. The House Judiciary Committee will take up the bill this Wednesday, potentially paving the way for more accountability in the future.
