Certiorari Filed with Supreme Court in Challenge to Colorado Conversion Therapy Ban

 A petition for certiorari (full text) was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court last Friday in Chiles v. Salazar, (Sup. Ct., cert. filed 11/8/2024). In the case, the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in a 2-1 decision held that Colorado's Minor Conversion Therapy Law that bans mental health professionals from providing conversion therapy to minors does not violate the free speech or free exercise rights of mental health professionals. (See prior posting.) ADF issued a press release announcing the filling of the petition for review.
