Washington — The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to take up a challenge to state and local laws that ban so-called conversion therapy for LGBTQ children.

The dispute before the court arose out of a Colorado law that prohibits licensed mental health professionals from engaging in conversion therapy on children who may be questioning their ******* orientation or gender identity. More than 20 states have similar laws on the books. The case will be heard in the Supreme Court’s next term, which begins in October.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
