Supreme Court seems highly doubtful of limits on conversion therapy for minors

The Supreme Court seemed ready on Tuesday to side with an Evangelical Christian therapist who objects to a Colorado law that she maintains violates her free speech rights.

After reading excerpts of the law out loud, conservative Justice Samuel Alito chimed in that the Colorado law "looks like blatant viewpoint discrimination."

"Let's just assume that we're in normal free-speech land rather than in this kind of doctor land. And if a doctor says I know you identify as gay, and I'm going to help you accept that, and another doctor says I know you identify as gay, and I'm going to help you change that, and one of those is permissible and the other is not, that seems like viewpoint discrimination."

So between the lines it is "a doctor says that" ... not "science says that", the land of alternative facts.
