The Supreme Court could decide in the coming weeks whether to take up a challenge to a Washington state law that bans therapists from trying to change the sexual orientation or gender identity of children.

Therapist Brian Tingley is asking the Supreme Court to weigh the constitutionality of a Washington law barring him from encouraging patients against transitioning to a different genderThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in January rejected Tingley's attempt to overturn Washington's ban on"conversion therapy" for children. The 2018 law was signed by Gov.

"Washington’s law prohibiting licensed mental health providers from practicing conversion therapy on minors is not unconstitutionally vague," the 9th Circuit wrote in its initial SeptemberOn March 27, Alliance Defending Freedom, a civil rights nonprofit firm, filed a petition to the Supreme Court to take up Tingley's case, arguing in part that the law only provides a one-way discussion over gender transitions.

"What the 9th Circuit said is because counseling is a type of medical treatment, then the government can regulate it, even if they're censoring speech in a viewpoint-based way," ADF senior counsel John Bursch told the"It's very one-sided, it promotes transitioning, and prohibits any other options," Bursch added.

Through the petition, Tingley's counsel is asking the high court to reverse the appeals court decision that upheld a district court ruling to toss out Tingley's challenge to the law. Tingley has worked with a wide spectrum of clients, including those who desire counseling to help them"bring their hearts, minds and conduct in line with the teachings of their faith,"The law threatens fines of up to $5,000 per violation, including suspension from practice and potentially permanent revocation of a counselor's license.by the U.S.

But if children can choose their gender than the Supreme Court better rule that there’s no age restrictions on anything.
