The newest episode of “We Dissent” takes on a difficult topic — the potential overturn of a ban on “conversion therapy” for minors.

On Episode 48, FFRF Deputy Legal Director Liz Cavell and Americans United Legal Director Rebecca Markert cover Chiles v. Salazar, the case before the Supreme Court seeking to strike down a Colorado law banning mental health professionals from practicing conversion therapy on children. They explain the details of the case and discuss the hypocrisy of a ruling striking down the ban. The duo also recounts the Oct. 7 oral arguments, where the majority of justices signaled support for a ruling that will nullify state laws in half the country protecting LGBTQ-plus youth from these discredited and harmful practices.

“We Dissent,” which first aired in May 2022, is a legal affairs show for atheists, agnostics and humanists, offering legal wisdom from the secular viewpoint of women lawyers. The show is a collaboration of the Freedom From Religion Foundation and Americans United.
