WASHINGTON—The U.S. Supreme Court seems poised to rule against Colorado’s law banning so-called conversion therapy for LGBT youth.

During a hearing on Oct. 7, several justices appeared sympathetic to a therapist’s challenge to the ban on the grounds that it violates her First Amendment rights to free speech. Lower courts had ruled that the law regulates a therapist’s conduct, finding that any infringement on her speech was incidental.
