The US Supreme Court rejected an important ban on conversion therapy. Colorado wanted to prohibit these controversial treatments.

The ruling came with a large majority: eight judges against one. This is a major blow for LGBTQ+ organisations fighting conversion therapy.

Conversion therapy is when therapists try to change sexual orientation or gender identity. Medical organisations consider this harmful and ineffective.

The ruling may have huge consequences for LGBTQ+ laws across America. Many states wanted to ban conversion therapy, especially for minors.

LGBTQ+ groups warn this decision harms their rights. Medical associations express disappointment and call for new policies.

The Supreme Court rejected Colorado's ban for constitutional reasons, not medical ones. This potentially opens the door for more lawsuits.
