WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2014 Today, Congressional Equality Caucus Chair Rep. Mark Takano (CA-39), Congressional Equality Caucus Vice Chair & House Democratic Caucus Vice Chair Rep. Ted Lieu (CA-36), and Senator Jeff Merkley (OR) present\u00f3 un escrito de amicus curiae<\/a> to urge the United States Supreme Court to uphold the constitutionality of Colorado\u2019s ban on mental health professionals engaging in conversion therapy for minors in the case of Chiles v. Salazar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 167 Members of the House of Representatives and 20 United States Senators joined the brief, including House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08), House Democratic Whip Katherine M. Clark (MA-05), House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (CA-33), Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (CA-11), and every Co-Chair and Vice Chair<\/a> of the Congressional Equality Caucus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Petitioner in this case is a licensed professional counselor who filed a pre-enforcement challenge against the state\u2019s ban on conversion therapy, arguing the ban violates her freedom of speech. The members\u2019 brief argues that the law is constitutional. It specifically highlights how legislatures have historically regulated professional conduct carried out by means of language to enforce compliance with professional standards and how Courts have historically upheld federal and state statutes regulating professional conduct that incidentally involves speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cConversion therapy practices hurt kids, are widely discredited, and have no place in our modern medicine. Patients should know when they are being treated by a licensed healthcare professional that the professional is adhering to the standards of their profession,\u201d said Rep. Mark Takano, Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus and lead sponsor of The Equality Act <\/em>en la C\u00e1mara de Representantes.<\/strong> \u201cMore than 20 states across our nation have already taken action to protect young LGBTQI+ people from the very real harms of so-called \u2018conversion therapy.\u2019 I am proud to lead this brief with Congressional Equality Caucus Vice Chair Ted Lieu and Senator Jeff Merkley. The Supreme Court must uphold these states\u2019 laws and allow them to continue protecting young LGBTQI+ people from harmful and cruel practices that are opposed by every major medical association.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAs a California State Senator, I introduced and passed the first ever ban on conversion therapy for minors in the nation,\u201d said Rep. Ted Lieu, Vice Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus. <\/strong>\u201cOver twenty states have since followed suit because the facts are clear: so-called \u2018conversion therapy\u2019 is a fraudulent practice. This case is not about free speech; it is about scammers who pose as health professionals that use fake science to hurt kids. I am joining Congressman Takano and Senator Merkley to lead our colleagues on an amicus brief to the Supreme Court because these bans save lives \u2013 they must be upheld.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe fraudulent, damaging practice of \u2018conversion therapy\u2019 has no place in our society, having been discredited by every mainstream medical association and deemed illegitimate care,\u201d said Senator Jeff Merkley, author of the Ley de Igualdad<\/em>. <\/strong>\u201cThis dangerous practice continues to harm our LGBTQ+ friends, family, and neighbors, and the Court must reject this divisive effort by MAGA extremists to roll back safeguards against it. Let\u2019s keep this cruelty out of our medical care.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Conversion therapy has no place in any therapeutic setting. It is long-disproven, unethical, and deeply traumatic to the young people forced to endure it,\u201d said Jennifer Pike Bailey, Director of Government Affairs at the Human Rights Campaign.<\/strong> \u201cThank you to the Members of Congress who are standing with LGBTQ+ youth and their families in urging the Supreme Court to uphold Colorado\u2019s protections against conversion therapy.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

BACKGROUND ON CONVERSION THERAPY
<\/strong>\u201cConversion therapy\u201d refers to range of discredited practices that have long been known to cause significant and lasting psychological harm to patients by purportedly forcing patients to change their sexual orientation or gender identity. These practices are often aimed at minors, and evidence shows that LGBTQ+ youth who undergo conversion therapy are more than twice as likely to report having attempted suicide<\/a> compared to those who did not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All major U.S. medical or mental healthcare associations have condemned conversion therapy, including the American Medical Association<\/a>, el American Psychological Association<\/a>, el American Psychiatric Association<\/a>, el American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry<\/a>, el American Academy of Pediatrics<\/a>, y el American Academy of Family Physicians<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De acuerdo con la Movement Advancement Project<\/a>, as of August 2025, 23 states and D.C. entirely prohibit, and 4 states and Puerto Rico restrict, licensed healthcare providers from subjecting minors to conversion therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Congressional Equality Caucus has endorsed H.R. 3243, the Therapeutic Fraud Prevention Act of 2025, led by Rep. Ted Lieu, which would explicitly classify providing or advertising conversion therapy in exchange for monetary compensation as an unfair or deceptive act or practice under the Federal Trade Commission Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
