Well this is certainly good news!

Government has no right to stop parents or the kids themselves from seeking counseling to change what they themselves do not want. Would the state of Colorado ban alcoholism treatment? Basically "conversion therapy" is alcoholism treatment for sexual disorders.

Maybe we should have a celebration of alcoholism then? Make it a legal right, an identity that is celebrated? Maybe we should force drunks into women's locker rooms? Maybe we should exempt them from DWI laws because "they were born that way"?

Actually Federal law makes it a crime to discriminate against drunks; you can't refuse to rent to an alcoholic, for instance. So the Left has actually sought to implement that, although that was a tough sell.

Liberals be crazy.

At any rate this thing was shot down by a whopping 8 to 1 vote, with only the insane idiot Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson voting to allow Colorado to infringe the right to freedom of speech (which is what this law did). Brown argued it was Colorado's right to "regulate healthcare" and that justified suspending the First Amendment. (That woman should never have been on ANY court, not just SCOTUS.)

Conversion therapy is talk therapy and not negative reinforcemet. There is no punishment for "slipping" as some alcohol treatment programs employ. (These programs often use a drug that makes the alcoholic deathly ill if he even smells alcohol to condition him to fear and loath booze.)

No therapist would risk the punishments for violating this law if it stood, meaning they could not discuss body issues unless advocating for gender reassignment aka transing the kids.

Naturally LGBTQ groups were horrified; it means fewer perverts to swell their ranks.
