Show Notes
Colorado lawmakers are pushing a bill to allow individuals harmed by conversion therapy to sue mental health professionals involved. The bill, House Bill 22, targets the discredited practice aimed at changing sexual orientation or gender identity, which every major medical group in the U.S. deems harmful and ineffective. The push comes as the U.S. Supreme Court reviews Colorados 2019 ban on conversion therapy for minors. The bill, if passed, would allow victims to seek economic damages, pain and suffering awards, and punitive pay, with no normal time limits for lawsuits due to the often delayed effects of the practice. The bill is awaiting its first hearing in the House Judiciary Committee.
