Chiles v. Salazar oral arguments on conversion therapy and professional speech

Oral arguments take place before the Supreme Court in Chiles v. Salazar regarding whether state bans on conversion therapy for minors violate therapists' First Amendment professional speech rights. The case arises from a federal appeals court decision striking down conversion therapy bans based on the professional speech doctrine. The Supreme Court will determine whether states can regulate harmful conversion practices or whether therapist speech enjoys heightened constitutional protection. The decision will have major implications for LGBTQ youth protection and the boundaries of professional speech.
