WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled against a Colorado law restricting licensed mental health professionals from performing voluntary talk-based “conversion therapy” to change the sexual orientation or gender identity of minors. In an 8-1 decision that happened to come on the Transgender Day of Visibility, the high court determined that Colorado’s 2019 law likely trampled on First Amendment protections and ruled in favor of Christian therapist Kaley Chiles. “We do not doubt that the question ‘how best to help minors’ struggling with issues of gender identity or sexual orientation is presently a subject of ‘fierce public debate,’” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote for the majority in a 23-page opinion.
