The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case related to a Colorado law that prohibits professional counseling services involved in conversion therapy aimed at changing a minor's gender identity or sexual orientation. This law, which has parallels in over 20 states and is supported by major medical organizations, is being challenged by Kaley Chiles, a licensed counselor. She argues that the law infringes on her First Amendment rights regarding free speech and religious practices, as it limits her ability to provide certain types of counseling to clients seeking to change their sexual attractions.
