Supreme Court to take up challenge to ‘conversion therapy’ by Colorado counselor
By Scott Barkley - Posted at Baptist Press:
Published March 10, 2025DENVER (BP) — The Supreme Court announced today (March 10) that it will hear the case of a Colorado counselor challenging the state’s ban on “conversion therapy.”
Kaley Chiles is a licensed counselor and Christian who only wishes to have the freedom of expressing her views in the manner that reflects her beliefs and does not wish to impose those on anyone else, according to the filing.
Chiles sought a preliminary injunction last fall through the U.S. 10th Circuit Court, calling the law a First Amendment free speech violation. In denying her claim, the court said it based its decision on conduct regarding her role as a counselor rather than free speech.
Today’s announcement comes less than a year and a half after the Supreme Court declined to hear a similar challenge based in Washington State.
