Supreme Court Upholds Bans on Conversion Therapy for LGBTQ+ Children

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a case challenging Washington state's ban on conversion therapy of minors, leaving the lower court's decision to uphold the ban intact. The law, enacted in 2018, allows the state to revoke licenses of therapists attempting to change a minor's sexual orientation. Justices Alito, Kavanaugh, and Thomas dissented, expressing their desire to hear the case and consider the First Amendment implications.
