Supreme Court to Review Bans on Conversion Therapy
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case challenging state bans on conversion therapy, a practice aimed at changing an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity. This decision marks a significant moment in the ongoing debate over the legality and ethics of conversion therapy. The case originated from Colorado, where a ban on the practice for minors has been in place, sparking a legal challenge that has now reached the nation's highest court.
Conversion therapy has been widely discredited by major medical and psychological associations, which argue that it is not only ineffective but also harmful. Despite this, several states have moved to ban the practice, leading to legal battles over whether such bans infringe on the rights of therapists and their clients.
The Supreme Court's decision to take up this case could have far-reaching implications for the future of conversion therapy across the United States. Advocates on both sides of the issue are closely watching the proceedings, as the outcome could set a precedent for other states considering similar legislation.
