"Supreme court rules against Colorado ban on ‘conversion therapy’ in decision rebuked by one justice – US politics live

In lone dissent, Ketanji Brown Jackson says majority ‘has failed to appreciate crucial context’ of constitutional claims in the case.

The supreme court did, however, issue an opinion today, ruling against the state of Colorado’s ban on 'conversion therapy' – a practice that seeks to change minors’ sexual orientation or gender identity.

In an 8-1 decision, the justices reversed a lower court’s decision that had upheld the law in a case brought by psychotherapist Kaley Chiles, who argued that the ban violated her first amendment right to free speech. The law applies to licensed mental health clinicians who seek to change a patient’s gender identity or sexual orientation, discredited tactics that major medical associations have said are ineffective and harmful.

In a lone dissent, Ketanji Brown Jackson – one of the three liberal justices on the bench – issued an opinion rebuking her colleagues’ decision.

'The majority has failed to appreciate the crucial context in which Chiles’s constitutional claims have arisen. Chiles is not speaking in the ether; she is providing therapy to minors as a licensed healthcare professional,' Jackson wrote. 'It cannot also be the case that Colorado’s decision to restrict a dangerous therapy modality that, incidentally, involves provider speech is presumptively unconstitutional.'

Colorado is one of more than 20 states in the US that have banned conversion practices. The ruling in favor of the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a Christian legal group, now makes these laws across the country vulnerable to similar challenges."

"An exhibition now on view at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis shows the work of a pair of artists who fought Nazi Germany with paper bullets.

It’s the term Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore used for the scraps of paper on which they wrote statements criticizing the Nazi war effort while living on Jersey, the small island in the English Channel that became the only British territory occupied by Germany during World War II.

Cahun and Moore slipped the notes between pages of newspapers and magazines, into the briefcases of strangers and perhaps even into the coat pockets of unsuspecting Nazi soldiers living on the island. Their goal was to sow discontent in the ranks.

They were ultimately caught.

'The German war tribunal that brought charges against them couldn’t believe it was these two women who had actually done this — two gray-haired ladies who were being helped across the street by a Nazi soldier,' said Dean Daderko, the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis’ Ferring Foundation chief curator.

Daderko and visiting historian Svetlana Kitto organized 'And I Saw New Heavens and a New Earth: The Partnership, Art and Activism of Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore,'on view through Aug. 9.

The heart of Cahun and Moore’s body of work is a series of photo portraits, mostly of Cahun, that the women collaborated on throughout their lifelong romance and artistic partnership.

As queer women living together in 1920s and ‘30s Paris, working among the early surrealists before seeking refuge in Jersey, Cahun and Moore defied social norms and artistic expectations. Little of their work was made public during their lifetimes, and only in recent decades have art historians grappled with its importance.

Much of the art world discussion has assumed the artistic centrality of Cahun, who published writings about art matters. Curators of the CAM exhibition emphasize the work as the product of a true collaboration.

St. Louis Public Radio’s Jeremy D. Goodwin spoke with Daderko and Kitto about Cahun and Moore’s life together as life partners and artists, their resistance efforts during the war and Cahun’s flexible understanding of gender.

This conversation has been lightly edited for length and clarity."

Idaho hat gerade ein Gesetz verabschiedet, dass Personen ein Jahr (1. Mal), fünf Jahre (2.) oder lebenslang (4.) Gefängnis einbringt, die eine Toilette oder Umkleide benutzen, die nicht ihrem "Geburtsgeschlecht" entspricht. Während das Gesetz sich natürlich schlimmerweise gegen Transsexuelle richtet, dürfte es hauptsächlich Spanner und Stalker in Frauenumkleidekabinen betreffen. Insofern dürfte es auch gute Seiten haben.
