The US Supreme Court has issued a significant ruling on conversion therapy. The court rejects bans on these controversial treatments in various states.

Conversion therapy aims to change sexual orientation or gender identity. Many American medical organisations call this approach harmful and ineffective.

The ruling sparks intense reactions nationwide. Opponents of conversion therapy organise protest marches across the country. They argue the court endangers young people's safety.

Supporters of the ruling say parents should choose their children's treatments. They call this a matter of personal freedom.

The Supreme Court frequently decides controversial issues in America. This ruling has major consequences for LGBTQ+ youth and families nationwide.
