The U.S. Supreme Court decided on March 10 to hear a First Amendment challenge to a Colorado law that prohibits counseling for minors that aims to turn patients away from same-sex attraction.

The petition in Chiles v. Salazar was granted in an unsigned order. No justices dissented. The court did not explain its decision.
