In 2019, Colorado enacted a law prohibiting licensed mental health professionals from practicing conversion therapy on minors, in response to concerns about its negative impact on mental health. The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a challenge to this law, brought by a Christian therapist who claims it infringes on her First Amendment rights. The case has significant implications for similar bans across more than 20 states, as it addresses the balance between protecting minors' mental health and upholding free speech and religious rights.
