“The US supreme court appeared ready to rule against a Colorado law that bans ‘conversion therapy’ practices that seek to change minors’ sexual orientation or gender identity …. The conservative justices repeatedly questioned whether the law was an unconstitutional regulation of speech and whether the conversion practices in question were harmful enough to constitute banning them. … Hashim M Mooppan, the principal deputy solicitor general in the US justice department, argued against the Colorado law before the court, saying the law didn’t meet the high standard of ‘strict scrutiny,’ a judicial test for whether a government can constitutionally impede in a given area. The law was in essence a ‘prior restraint’ on a therapist’s speech, he said. ‘The law restricts speech based on content and viewpoint,’ Mooppan said.” (10/07/25)
