The Supreme Court declined to take up a case seeking to overturn Washington state's ban on the practice of conversion therapy for minors who say they are gay or lesbian, prompting the court's most conservative members to say they would have granted it.
Despite three dissents from Republican-appointed Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Brett Kavanaugh, the majority on the bench decided to leave intact Washington state's ban on engaging LGBT minors in conversion therapy, which mirrors similar restrictions in 20 other states.
