Supreme Court Strikes Down Colorado Ban
On March 31, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 8–1 that Colorado’s 2019 ban on conversion therapy for minors violates the First Amendment as applied to a counselor’s speech and remanded the case to lower courts for strict-scrutiny review. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion emphasizing viewpoint discrimination, while Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented. The ruling affects state enforcement of professional-licensing restrictions on therapy.
