""Conversion therapy is not therapy; it is abuse.""
""Consistent with the First Amendment's jealous protections for the individual's right to think and speak freely, this Court has long held that laws regulating speech based on its subject matter or 'communicative content' are 'presumptively unconstitutional.'""

The Supreme Court's 8-1 decision stated that conversion therapy, when framed as talk therapy, is protected under free speech. Activists argued that such practices should not be considered therapy and highlighted the implications for existing laws against conversion therapy.
