I'm really surprised by Kagan's and Soyomayor's votes on this.
"In a solo dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote that states should be free to regulate health care, even if that means incidental restrictions on speech. The decision, Jackson wrote, “opens a dangerous can of worms” that “threatens to impair states’ ability to regulate the provision of medical care in any respect.”"

Supreme Court rules against Colorado ban on LGBTQ+ ‘conversion therapy’

The Supreme Court has ruled against a law banning “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ+ kids in Colorado, one of about two dozen states that banned the discredited practice. The high court majority sided Tuesday with a Christian counselor who argues the law banning talk therapy violates the First Amendment. The justices agreed the law raises free speech concerns and sent it back to a lower court to decide if it meets a legal standard few laws pass. President Donald Trump’s Republican administration supported the counselor. Colorado said the measure simply bars a practice of using therapy to try to “convert” LGBTQ+ people to heterosexuality, a practice that’s been scientifically discredited and linked to serious harm.

Uno de los cambios más relevantes en derechos LGBT+ dentro de la nueva Ley del Registro Civil de Cuba es que las personas podrán modificar el sexo en su identificación según su autopercepción, sin necesidad de una orden judicial ni de someterse a una cirugía de reasignación de sexo.
