Colorado law allowing lawsuits against ‘conversion therapy’ providers takes effect July 1

Colorado has enacted a new law that allows individuals to sue providers of "conversion therapy," a controversial and widely discredited practice aimed at changing a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. This legal change comes amid ongoing debate over the practice's constitutionality following a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling. By providing a legal pathway for these lawsuits, Colorado is taking a significant step to protect LGBTQ+ individuals from harmful practices, highlighting the state's commitment to safeguarding mental health and human rights.
