The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether state and local governments can enforce laws banning conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ children in a Colorado case. The conservative-led court is taking up the case amid aggressive actions by President Donald Trump targeting transgender people. Colorado is among roughly half the states that prohibit the practice of trying to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity through counseling. The issue at hand is whether these laws violate the speech rights of counselors, with defenders arguing that they regulate the conduct of licensed professionals.
