  • Newer law has been passed "https://www.thetrevorproject.org/blog/colorado-passes-new-law-to-protect-lgbtq-people-against-harms-of-conversion-therapy-in-wake-of-supreme-court-decision/ "esterday, the Colorado General Assembly passed HB26-1322, legislation that updates Colorado’s longstanding prohibition on conversion therapy to be viewpoint-neutral, directly responding to the concerns raised by the U.S. Supreme Court in Chiles v. Salazar. The new law preserves Colorado’s ban on this discredited and harmful practice while bringing the statute into alignment with the Supreme Court’s First Amendment guidance. ""
