So-called “conversion therapy” is an abusive pseudoscience that pits kids against their families and has been rejected by EVERY major medical & mental health organization.

This week, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case challenging Colorado’s ban on this dangerous practice.

In case you're wondering, here's a map of states that have either banned, partially banned, blocked banning, or have no ban on conversion therapy:

Supreme Court to decide if Colorado’s law banning conversion therapy violates free speech

If conversion therapy is deemed speech, then bans on it likely will fall.

It's not coming. American society is built on the idea that Black suffering is normal.

Three HBCUs have had to lock down their campuses today.

Where's the condemnation from the right and from the media?

I need to work on this post, but I am so tired. Thinking about taking a nap, then working on it. It's been a long day & a rough 7 or so days.
