The US Supreme Court has made an important decision about conversion therapy. The court rejects bans on these controversial treatments in different states.

Conversion therapy is treatment aimed at changing sexual orientation or gender identity. Many American medical organisations call this approach harmful and ineffective.

The decision causes strong reactions. Opponents of conversion therapy organise protest marches across the country. They say the court endangers young people's safety.

Supporters of the decision say parents should choose their children's treatment themselves. They call this a matter of personal freedom.

The Supreme Court regularly decides on controversial subjects in America. This decision has major consequences for LGBTQ+ young people and families.
