Today, SCOTUS ruled in Chiles v. Salazar, resulting in CO's law protecting youth from conversion therapy to be struck down. Conversion therapy remains harmful to youth & rejected by a majority of medical institutions. Survivors STILL have legal options to fight back. Breaking: Today, in a disappointing decision, the Supreme Court narrowly struck down Colorado's law protecting youth from conversion therapy - but the court was careful to say that conversion therapy is still malpractice.  the background of the graphic is a Supreme Court Chamber with a pink filtere. The ruling is narrow. Survivors still have legal options to fight back against the harms of conversion therapy, including medical malpractice, consumer fraud claims, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The Good News: The ruling is narrow. The decision is about how conversion therapy can be regulated–not about whether it is safe or legal. It isn’t. And survivors still have legal options to fight back against the harms of conversion therapy, including medical malpractice,  consumer fraud claims, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.   A person holds a hand drawn Born Perfect sign in the left corner of the graphic.
