Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Yoo discusses the Supreme Courts consideration of free speech issues in the conversion therapy ban case: Childs v. Salazar on America Reports.
The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Colorado can’t enforce its "conversion therapy" ban regarding conversations between therapists and clients, saying the law likely violates the First Amendment by allowing some viewpoints but not others.
In an 8–1 decision, the court said the law favors one viewpoint by allowing therapists to affirm a client’s gender identity or sexual orientation, but not help them change it if they want to.
