Författare delar erfarenheter av omvändelseterapi efter högsta domstolens dom

Två författare har gett ut böcker som utforskar de långvariga effekterna av omvändelseterapi mitt under pågående debatter efter ett domslut i högsta domstolen i mars. Davin Malasarn och Timothy Schraeder Rodriguez diskuterar sina personliga historier i ett nyligen genomfört samtal. Deras verk belyser skärningspunkten mellan tro, familj och hbtq-identitet.

I mars slog högsta domstolen fast att Colorados förbud mot omvändelseterapi stred mot det första författningstillägget genom att diskriminera terapeuten Kaley Chiles. Domen har förnyat uppmärksamheten kring dessa metoder, som enligt en rapport från The Trevor Project från 2026 påverkade en av tjugo hbtqia+-ungdomar trots olika statliga förbud.
