Thank you, Colorado. Thank you, Gov Polis. Thank you to the universe where some rational human beings are still deciding to act in favor of mental health for LGBTQIA kids and adults. And as always, thank you, Erin, for reporting!❤️
Colorado has found a way to help protect the LGBTQ+ community from therapists and organizations that continue to push so-called "conversion therapy"—a practice that has been repeatedly shown to be harmful, damaging, and ineffective. This new law, which will take effect shortly and has no expiration date, uses a legal strategy similar to the one Texas used to get around Roe v. Wade.
This is a major step forward for a community that has faced discrimination, persecution, and attacks on many levels for far too long. For years, supporters of conversion therapy ignored the evidence and the emotional scars left on countless individuals. Colorado's action sends a clear message: harmful practices disguised as therapy have no place in a modern society.
The fight for equality and dignity is far from over, but this law represents meaningful progress and a victory for those who believe people should be free to live as their authentic selves without fear, shame, or coercion.
I'm hopeful that this new law will make therapists think twice about what they advise or refer patients to do s it will have a monetary cost.
Fight fire with fire!
That's great news! I'm so glad they found a clever way to get around the awful Supreme Court ruling

I profoundly hope this one sticks despite SCOTUS.
Why is there not simply application of fraud law to all billing for conversion therapy, since all of it is fraud?
Thank you, Erin.
I like how they used it to shoot down arguments against affirming therapy too
Now put Tina Peters back in prison.
Thanks, Polis. You're still a bootlicking dweeb, but at least you chose not to lick 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 particular set of boots.
Omg…that actually made me laugh out loud🙌🏻
Nice to see Colorado resisting in this way. In some ways, Colorado has proved to be a very good blue state refuge against all the madness and hate.
Grateful for the acts of humanity!
