Two writers have released books exploring the lasting effects of conversion therapy amid ongoing debates following a March supreme court decision. Davin Malasarn and Timothy Schraeder Rodriguez discuss their personal stories in a recent conversation. Their works highlight the intersection of faith, family, and queer identity.
In March the supreme court ruled that Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy violated first amendment rights by discriminating against therapist Kaley Chiles. The decision has renewed attention to these practices, which a 2026 Trevor Project report found affected one in twenty LGBTQIA+ young people despite various state bans.
