The Colorado law was the subject of the suit and was struck down as an infringement of free speech.

It’s not clear if this will affect the laws in other states, which would have different language from the Colorado law, which in my understanding, was extremely specific in restricting therapist’s actual speaking on the subject of conversion therapy, not just the practice.

I guess we will have to wait and find out.
