Listen to today’s show as we talk with Jeff Johnston a culture and policy analyst for Focus on the Family, about a landmark Supreme Court ruling striking down a Colorado law that restricted counselors’ speech with minors. Johnston—who has been interviewed by CBS Sunday Morning, The New York Times, and Rolling Stone—explains why the Court’s 8–1 decision is a major First Amendment victory. We discuss what the ruling means for families, counselors, and similar laws across the country, and why the term “conversion therapy” is so widely disputed. If you want clarity on why this case matters, this episode is for you.
