Conversion Reversion

“Colorado may regard its policy as essential to public health and safety.

Gorsuch as the Supreme Court Rejected a Colorado Law Banning ‘Conversion Therapy’ for L.G.B.T.Q. Minors. “Only Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, reading a lengthy summary of her opposition from the bench … ‘This decision might make speech-only therapies and other medical treatments involving practitioner speech effectively unregulatable,’ she wrote, criticizing her eight colleagues for having made ‘this momentous decision without adequately grappling with the potential long-term and disastrous implications.'”
