In 2019, Colorado enacting the minor conversion therapy law, prohibiting mental health professionals from engaging in quote conversion therapy with patients under the age of 18. The law, which targets therapists,
defines that as an effort, quote, to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity, including efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attraction or feelings toward individuals of the same sex.
Colorado therapist Kaylee Childs argues the ban amounts to a, quote, viewpoint-based speech restriction on counselors in violation of the First Amendment. If she were to counsel a patient suffering from gender dysphoria who wanted affirmation of their transgender identity, that's totally permissible under the law.
