TOPEKA — The Kansas attorney general demanded three cities repeal their bans on conversion therapy for minors following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that found such bans violate the First Amendment. The collection of practices known as conversion therapy were designed to attempt to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Chiles v. Salazar in March that a conversion therapy ban in Colorado violated therapists’ constitutionally protected free speech. Legislation to codify a conversion therapy ban statewide has repeatedly failed to progress in the Kansas Legislature. It also bars professionals from advertising or using the terms “conversion therapy, ex-gay therapy, sexual orientation and gender identity change efforts, or any substantially similar wording.”
