8-1 SCOTUS Nukes Egregious Colorado Ban On Therapists Saving Children
"Thank you to William Olson and his team for filing Amicus Briefs on our behalf in this case. Counselors have a first amendment right to provide professional guidance to children to avoid destroying their own lives and the Supreme Court stands in agreement with that legal position," says Eugene Delgaudio, president of Public Advocate.
Delgaudio said his supporters: "This morning, by an 8-1 vote, in an opinion by Justice Gorsuch, the Supreme Court barred use of Colorado from applying its law restricting licensed mental health professionals from counseling against homosexuality or transgenderism as applied to a particular counselor.using talk therapy This Colorado law allowed such licensed mental health professionals to favor homosexuality and transgender transition. "
'The Constitution does not protect the right of some to speak freely; it protects the right of all. It safeguards not only popular ideas; it secures, even and especially, the right to voice dissenting views.'
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against Colorado's ban on therapists helping gender-confused clients find their way out of radical "transgender" ideology, in an 8-1 opinion Tuesday.
Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote for the majority in Chiles v. Salazar, where Colorado talk therapist Kaley Chiles challenged a law restricting her ability to provide gender-confused clients with care that seeks to resolve such confusion, rather than advance it.
