The U.S. Supreme Court will not be adding a major hot-button case about minor conversion therapy laws to its docket this term, the court said Monday, over the dissents of three conservative, Republican-appointed justices.

The court rejected an appeal from a Christian marriage and family counselor who said that the Washington state’s ban on therapy that seeks to change a minor’s sexual orientation or gender identity violates the free speech clause of the First Amendment. Petitioner Brian Tingley was appealing a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that upheld Washington’s SB 5722, signed into law by Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee in 2018.
