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.
