Listen "McBlog: Conversion Therapy Law In Supreme Court US"

Episode Synopsis

As with New Zealand, several states in the USA are, in effect, limiting the counselling options available to families by censoring the counsellor’s speech on issues of gender and sexuality. Instead, counsellors may only encourage children to undergo irreparable surgeries or take harmful drugs rather than helping children regain comfort with their sex. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court heard Chiles v. Salazar, the case of ADF client Kaley Chiles who is challenging such a law in Colorado. The results will not only impact the free speech rights of counsellors but also whether parents and kids can get the help they need. We speak to Jake Warner, Senior Counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom in the US.
