"Today's reckless decision means more American kids will suffer. The Court has weaponized free-speech in order to prioritize anti-LGBTQ+ bias over the safety, health and wellbeing of children."
"Conversion therapy is designed to convince kids they're not gay or trans through both physical and psychological torment, which can include hypnosis, electric shock, and masturbation 'reconditioning.'"
"The United Nations considers it torture, and every major medical group in the U.S. agrees it doesn't work and actually causes more harm."
"Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson warned the fallout from today's ruling 'could be catastrophic.'"
The Supreme Court's 8-1 decision overturned Colorado's ban on conversion therapy for minors, citing free speech violations. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson expressed concerns about potential catastrophic consequences. Kelley Robinson from the Human Rights Campaign criticized the ruling, stating it prioritizes anti-LGBTQ+ bias over children's safety. Conversion therapy, deemed torture by the United Nations, is widely rejected by major medical organizations for its ineffectiveness and harmful effects. The case arose from a conservative Christian counselor's lawsuit against the ban, claiming it infringed on her free speech rights.
