Not entirely true

"talk therapy to minors who want to reduce feelings of same-sex attraction or feel more comfortable in their bodies."


Sexual attraction and gender identity are two very different issues and should be treated differently. Colorado fricked up by conflating the two together as the same thing in their ban of "conversion therapy", when those two things are not the same.

This all stems from the problem with the whole LGBTQ+ idealogy. There are obvious Nuances once you get past the LGB's, and acting like all this shite should be treated as if they are all one thing is beyond stupid.

Poor wording on my part. She's not a licensed medical doctor/psych.

Yeah, statutory drafting is tricky work.

This has to do with conversion therapy, meaning you counsel the gay out of someone. This is not a conversion as in converting from male to female. The court said a State cannot ban a medical professional from discussing a course of treatment. Now banning an actual treatment is a totally different discussion.

Liberals: Doctors should be able to saw off a child's penis and pump him full of nasty hormones without the parent's consent or knowledge if he thinks he might prefer being a female.

Also Liberals: Doctors should NOT be able to talk to children about hetero-normative therapy options if he thinks he might be gay.

The entire opinion, including the preamble description of the case, is 66 pages long.

Jackson's dissent starts on page 32. Her opinion is longer than the summary, the majority opinion, and Kagan's concurring opinion, combined.

I'm not even going to read it. I bet it's the legal equivalent of a leftist loon on Facebook writing a novel to say nothing of consequence.

Theoretically, is there a big difference?

She may go down as one of the worst SCOTUS judges all time, and thats saying a lot with Sotomayor and Keegan on the bench.

Which is a state licensing issue, and should have no relevance on whether the Colorado statute was a 1st Amendment violation.

The ruling is a win for the Trump administration, which urged the court to declare that Colorado’s ban violates free speech rights.

The case, Chiles v. Salazar, was brought by Kaley Chiles, a licensed counselor who described herself as a practicing Christian who sometimes provides counseling informed by her faith. Chiles said she wished to offer talk therapy to minors who want to reduce feelings of same-sex attraction or feel more comfortable in their bodies.

Chiles isn’t licensed to prescribe medicine or perform surgery, so the ruling does not directly impact states’ power to regulate those sorts of interventions.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the sole dissenter. She said the court was unwisely interfering in the long tradition of states’ regulating the practice of medicine and similar professions.

"Chiles is not speaking in the ether; she is providing therapy to minors as a licensed healthcare professional,” Jackson wrote. She declared that conversion therapy is dangerous and said the court’s decision “opens a dangerous can of worms.”

“It threatens to impair States’ ability to regulate the provision of medical care in any respect. It extends the Constitution into uncharted territory in an utterly irrational fashion. And it ultimately risks grave harm to Americans’ health and wellbeing,” she added, reading portions of her dissent from the bench in a sign of deep disagreement.

if you raise your child right, it wouldn't be a problem. Rule one is do not expose them to people like the ones posting here who support a hedonistic society of pinko commie transies running naked in the streets all day.

Gee I wonder who the lone dissent came from? You would think when even Wise Latina is on the right side of a ruling it would be unanimous, but no this DEI wonder will sit on the court and continue to make fricking stupid rulings.

You should probably change your title to “gay conversion therapy“ instead of "lgbt conversion therapy."

Just about everyone reading your title thinks this is about transitioning to a different sex..

This is definitely the lie the trans people push. "Live daughter than a dead son." It's total bullshite.

The truth is that trans "identity" is social contagion in most cases and if a kid is allowed to walk that path they will very likely wind up sterile, may well wind up mutilated, and will have a *higher* risk of suicide. Not a lower one.
