Supreme Court of the United States
Chiles v. Salazar
March 31, 2026
Summary
The Court held that Colorado's ban on conversion therapy, as applied to Kaley Chiles's talk‑therapy counseling of minors, regulates speech on the basis of viewpoint and therefore triggers strict scrutiny. The lower courts erred by applying only rational‑basis review. The judgment of the Tenth Circuit is reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
