Supreme Court Rules 8-1 Against Colorado’s Ban on ‘Conversion Therapy’ for Minors – Justice Jackson Dissents
The US Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled 8-1 against Colorado’s ‘conversion therapy’ ban for LGBTQ minors.
Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
The lawsuit was filed by Christian talk therapist Kaley Chiles.
Kaley Chiles argued that Colorado’s ban on her talk therapy methods violated her First Amendment rights.
Chiles counsels children and minor teens struggling with gender identity issues.
Justice Gorsuch agreed and said Colorado’s ban on certain talk therapy methods “censors speech based on viewpoint.”
“Under our precedents, bedrock First Amendment principles have far less salience when the speakers are medical professionals,” Justice Jackson wrote, according to NBC News.
NBC News reported:
In a blow to LGBTQ rights, the Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy aimed at youths struggling with their sexual orientation or gender identity violates the free speech rights of a conservative Christian therapist.
The 8-1 decision in favor of therapist Kaley Chiles on her claim brought under the Constitution’s First Amendment is likely to have national implications — more than 20 states have similar laws. It could also have an impact on other forms of medical treatment that involve speech.
Writing for the majority, Justice Neil Gorsuch said that “the First Amendment stands as a shield against any effort to enforce orthodoxy in thought or speech in this country.”
Colorado’s law “does not just ban physical interventions,” Gorsuch wrote. It also “censors speech based on viewpoint.”
In deciding the case, the court embraced Chiles’ argument that the Colorado law banning conversion therapy regulates speech, not conduct, as Colorado had argued.
As such, the measure is not like other health care regulations that focus on conduct, the court concluded. The case, decided on the global Transgender Day of Visibility, will now return to the lower courts.

A Palm Beach, Florida, elections volunteer was arrested for stealing computer equipment encrypted access key ahead of a special election where a Democrat won by 800 votes.
John Panicci was arrested on Friday for taking sensitive computer equipment and other supplies on March 19 ahead of the March 24 special election.
As previously reported, a Democrat flipped a Florida state house district that includes President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
Emily Gregory won state house district 87 in last Tuesday night’s special election.

President Trump won this district by 11 points in 2024.
Last Monday, ahead of the election, President Trump endorsed Republican Jon Maples for state house district 87.
However, Emily Gregory defeated Republican Jon Maples last Tuesday night.
NBC Miami reported:
A man accused of stealing election computer equipment in Palm Beach County was arrested on Saturday, authorities said.
John Panicci was charged with taking damaged computer equipment, supplies/electronic devices.
According to detectives, on Friday, they arrived at the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Office after receiving reports that sensitive computer equipment had been stolen.
During their investigation, detectives said that on March 19, the Elections Office was doing a training session for volunteers who were going to help with the election scheduled on March 24.
Detectives said that during the training session, Panicci stole an encrypted access key from a voter registration terminal.
The key that Panacci allegedly took was programmed only for the training databases, but there were concerns that if someone else could reverse engineer the encryption, they could then use it on a voter registration kiosk for malicious purposes.

Children are often exposed to pornographic content between ten and thirteen years old.
How is that possible?
Children cannot buy firearms, alcohol, or even spray paint.
So why are so many children exposed to such graphic adult content?
Because of things like this.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
Every single Minnesota House Democrat voted against a bill that would have required age verification on pornographic websites to protect children from watching or accessing explicit online content.
The vote on House File 1434 ended in a 67-67 tie on Thursday, with all 67 Republicans supporting the measure and all 67 Democrats opposing it.
The tie killed the bill.
The legislation would have mandated that commercial websites where 25 percent or more of the content consists of material harmful to minors verify that users are at least 18 years old before granting access.
The bill defines “harmful to minors” based on standards lacking serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for youth.
It included protections for data privacy and enforcement mechanisms through the attorney general and private lawsuits by parents.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, during a debate about the bill, Democrat State Representative Leigh Finke, the state’s first openly transgender legislator, voiced strong opposition, claiming porn can be “educational” for queer kids.
Finke claimed that the vague definition of “prurient interest” could be interpreted to include “the very existence of transgender kids.”
Intentionally allowing children to be exposed to this content is sick, predatory, and disgusting.
The left appears hellbent on destroying the innocence of children. Parents everywhere should take note.
