The Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday regarding a Colorado counselor's challenge to the state's ban on conversion therapy for minors. The counselor argues the law infringes on her free speech rights by censoring discussions about gender dysphoria and sexual orientation. Colorado maintains the ban regulates harmful professional conduct, citing risks like depression and suicidality associated with conversion therapy. The justices debated whether the case involves speech or conduct and the potential for viewpoint discrimination. A decision is anticipated by late June or early July.
