What Is Conversion Therapy? A History of the Practice.

Conversion therapy, a controversial practice aimed at changing an individual's sexual orientation, saw a rise in popularity during the 1980s and 1990s. However, medical organizations have since condemned it as harmful. The upcoming Supreme Court hearing on Colorado's ban could set a significant precedent, affecting over 20 states with similar laws. This case is crucial as it highlights the ongoing debate about LGBTQ+ rights and the protection of individuals from potentially damaging practices.
