The Supreme Court said on Monday that it would not hear a First Amendment challenge to a Washington State law banning professional counseling services intended to change a minor’s gender identity or sexual orientation.
In dissent on Monday, Justice Thomas wrote that the question posed by Mr. Tingley’s appeal was substantial and deserved the Supreme Court’s attention.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled against Mr. Tingley, saying the government was free to regulate the conduct of medical professionals.
Mr. Tingley is represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian law firm and advocacy group that has litigated many cases for clients opposed to abortion, insurance coverage for contraception, and gay and transgender rights.
The group has won a series of victories at the Supreme Court, most recently on behalf of a Colorado web designer who said she did not want to create websites celebrating same-sex weddings.
“This court recently reversed the Ninth Circuit’s decision to uphold a law compelling crisis pregnancy centers to disseminate government-drafted notices.”
