Show Notes
The Supreme Courts ruling in the Chiles case has shifted the landscape of free speech protections for therapists. The court struck down a Colorado law banning conversion therapy for minors, deeming it a violation of free speech rights due to its targeting of specific viewpoints in talk therapy. This decision marks a significant shift, as these disputes previously were framed as religious freedom fights, but now are reframed as speech claims. The majority opinion focused on viewpoint discrimination, as the law allows therapists to affirm a minors identity but blocks talk of change. This ruling opens the door for more First Amendment challenges in clinics and puts state rules on therapy messages on shaky ground.
