(The Center Square) - Advocates praised and criticized the U.S. Supreme Court's decision against a 2019 Colorado law banning conversion therapy. 

In an 8-1 decision on Tuesday, the court said Colorado's law goes against protections guranteed by the First Amendment. The case focused on a Colorado therapist who uses talk therapy with minors who express unwanted same-sex desire or gender dysphoria.
