A pending Supreme Court decision on banning conversion therapy for LGBTQ youth is a crucial moment in the struggle against Christian nationalism.
Rachel Laser, president of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, stated that this decision represents a turning point.
“Either you believe in pluralistic democracy, or you are for uprooting it so certain people can have bigger rights and be considered more American than other people,”
she said. The case in question is Salazar, a lawsuit filed in 2022 by counselor Kaley Chiles challenging Colorado’s law banning conversion therapy for children.
Conversion therapy aims to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity through behavioral modification and religious instruction.
