The Supreme Court refused to hear a challenge to a Washington state law banning conversion therapy for minors, and Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a blistering dissent.
If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein, Thomas wrote in his dissent. Yet, under S.B. 5722, licensed counselors cannot voice anything other than the state-approved opinion on minors with gender dysphoria without facing punishment.
The challenge to the Washington law known as S.B. 5722 was filed by Brian Tingley, a licensed family counselor who practices conversion therapy. He argues that the states ban on licensed therapists performing conversion therapy on minors violates his constitutional rights. He is represented by the anti-LGBTQ+ hate group Alliance Defending Freedom.
