US Supreme Court skeptical toward Colorado LGBT 'conversion therapy' ban

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday appeared ready to side with a challenge on free speech grounds to a Colorado law banning psychotherapists from conducting "conversion therapy" that aims to change a minor's sexual orientation or gender identity. Questions posed by the court's conservative justices during arguments in the case signaled their sympathy toward Christian licensed counselor Kaley Chiles, who challenged the law under the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment protections against government abridgment of free speech. The court has a 6-3 conservative majority.
