Ban on Conversion Therapy for LGBT Minors

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 3/31/2026 11:05:21 AM

The Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down a Colorado law banning “conversion therapy” for minors, ruling in a 8-1 decision that the law violates the First Amendment free speech rights of licensed counselors. The Court’s majority found that the law favors one viewpoint by allowing counselors to affirm a client’s gender identity or sexual orientation, but preventing counselors from helping clients change their identity or orientation if they want to. “Colorado may regard its policy as essential to public health and safety,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote on behalf of the majority. “But the First Amendment stands as a shield

Someone help me understand this. Colorado banned "converison therapy" and the SCOTUS said you cant ban conversion therapy, due to 1st admendment. It was 8-1, so please explain how this is good to allow them to continue transitioning minors.

Re #3. Do you understand that "conversion therapy" is psychological assistance in helping homosexuals to become normal heterosexuals and has nothing whatsoever to do with "trans" stuff? The conversion is NOT sex conversion but form homosexual to heterosexual via psychotherapy. Insane leftist think homosexuals are "normal" so they banned efforts to assist them to become actually normal heterosexuals.

#2 The female judge who didn't know the definition of what a woman is, is the one who voted No. We know that. And she is a Supreme Court judge that will be on the bench for years. What an awful thought.

If I could trust these experts not to be Advocates for conversation “therapy” l might agree with this ruling, but I can’t. If they want to keep this therapy secret from the parents, I strongly suspect the expert is trying to talk the child into trans conversion procedures. Adolescence is a confusing and many are curious what it’s like to be the other gender. An expert that believes this needs to be affirmed can end up convincing the child of something that is not true. There are a number of cases of this being reported.

WASHINGTON — The record-breaking 46-day partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security could end soon. House Republicans appear to have caved and backed the Senate plan to fund all of DHS except parts of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as US Customs and Border Protection. “We are going forward to fund our incredible ICE Agents and Border Patrol through a process that doesn’t need Radical Left Democrat votes, and bypasses the Senate Filibuster (which should be repealed, IMMEDIATELY!),” President Trump announced on Truth Social.

The divide between the United States and the other major NATO members continues to widen. Despite not being asked to directly participate in the conflict against Iran, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Spain, among others, have put up roadblocks, repeatedly shifting on something as simple as base usage, and even denying the use of airspace for cargo transit. As I said in my previous write-up on the matter, there is no point in being in such a one-sided, self-serving alliance. France, the United Kingdom, and Germany have been asked to do very little in support of this mission.

As discussed earlier today, Democrats may be facing problems in a few years thanks to all of the people choosing to leave blue states and move to red states instead. Over time, that reduces the number of electoral votes in those blue states as well as the number of people representing the state in the House. There can be many reasons people decide to leave blue states but one of the ones often pointed to is taxation and another is affordability. It's not a coincidence that some of our largest blue cities also have some of the highest home and rental prices. So does fleeing these cities really benefit

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is willing to join the US-Iran war and is preparing to help the United States and other allies reopen the Strait of Hormuz by force, according to a new report that cited Arab officials.

Such a move would make the UAE the first Persian Gulf country to join the conflict directly. This also comes after US President Donald Trump lashed out at allies on Tuesday for not doing more to support the US war effort against Iran,

The recent massive U.S. strike near Iran’s central city of Isfahan likely sought to render Tehran’s remaining highly enriched uranium stockpile inaccessible by burying it deep underground — a strategy that would negate the need for a prolonged and risky U.S. ground operation to extract the material, according to an Israeli military analyst writing Tuesday. Writing in Ynet on Tuesday, Israeli military analyst Ron Ben-Yishai — a veteran Yediot Ahronot correspondent and Israel Prize recipient — assessed that the strike reflects a deliberate U.S. effort to neutralize Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile by entombing it beneath rock, soil, and collapsed tunnel infrastructure rather than attempting to remove it by force.

Any RedState reader already knows this, but apparently it’s news to the Left. Why, leftists seemingly ask, don’t our subjects like the rising crime, homelessness, high taxes, and insane housing costs we bring them? They should know what’s good for them. Dimon said, yeah, not so much: Jamie Dimon sounded off on high taxes and poor quality of life being major factors in the exodus of people and businesses from blue states.

As the Iranian regime continues to fire at civilian targets in Israel and other nations, and as the United States and Israel take on the world’s worst terror-sponsoring regime (Iran’s), French President Emmanuel Macron and his government are determined to be on the wrong side of history. Donald Trump pulled no punches. “The Country of France wouldn’t let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory.

Among the pub-table strategists and commentators in Europe talking about Iran you often hear the phrase, “This is not our war.” That’s a view as wrong as it is strategically unwise. Of course it is our war. It is far more our war than America’s. The infiltration of European societies by Islamist networks is further advanced and more acute here than in America. (And solidarity with Israel, whose very existence is under threat, ought to be far stronger in Germany than in the United States.)
