The Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Colorado counselor, Kaley Chiles, who was challenging the states ban on conversion therapy for minors. The court found that lower courts had not applied sufficient First Amendment scrutiny, labeling the law as a form of viewpoint-based speech control. Justice Neil Gorsuch led the majority, emphasizing that Colorados rule goes beyond regulating professional conduct and infringes on the views counselors can share with clients. Chiles aims to counsel children and families dealing with unwanted attractions or gender dysphoria, aligning feelings with their birth biology. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented alone, warning that the ruling could impact states ability to regulate harmful medical practices. Lower courts must now reevaluate the law under stricter free speech standards, balancing religious expression and LGBTQ protections.
