Show Notes
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Christian counselor, Kaley Chiles, striking down Colorados ban on conversion therapy. The 8-1 decision, penned by Justice Neil Gorsuch, argues the law violates the First Amendment. The case is sent back to a lower court to check if the ban passes strict scrutiny. Liberal justices joined the majority, while Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented. LGBTQ advocates criticize the decision, emphasizing the harm of conversion therapy. Chiles, supported by the Alliance Defending Freedom and Trump-era Justice Department, argues her faith-based counseling helps youth feel comfortable in their bodies. This ruling could impact similar bans in other states and follows a pattern of the court backing religious freedom claims over LGBTQ protections.
