Jane Koston: 最高法院同意审理挑战科罗拉多州禁止同性恋转化疗法的案件。该案原告,一位基督教治疗师,认为该禁令违反了她根据第一修正案享有的权利,禁止她帮助病人停止成为同性恋、女同性恋或跨性别者。转化疗法无效且有害。 Philip Weiser: 我担心最高法院的裁决可能会逆转人人平等的权利。如果这种残酷且不被接受的所谓同性恋转化疗法被赋予第一修正案的保护,而科罗拉多州的决定是规范一项美国精神病学协会和美国心理学协会都认为没有价值且有害的做法,这将是美国悲伤的一天。这将是背离正义、背离平等的转折点。我尤其困惑的是,原告治疗师从未提供过这种所谓的同性恋转化疗法。一旦我们开始在第一修正案中对此进行质疑,这对于消费者和平等来说都是一个问题。我们知道这种做法是有害的,它不提供价值,只会伤害人们,那么我们就应该禁止这种做法。 Jane Koston: 科罗拉多州检察长Philip Weiser讨论了最高法院的案件以及他如何应对特朗普政府的挑战。他认为,特朗普政府的许多行动都是非法的,并且正在采取行动来保护科罗拉多州居民的权利。他提到了一些具体的例子,例如特朗普政府试图取消出生公民权、限制对提供变性护理的医院的联邦拨款,以及试图获得科罗拉多州的私人信息。Weiser还讨论了在这些动荡时期保持理智的方法,以及他如何平衡工作和个人生活。

Shownotes Transcript

The Supreme Court announced Monday it will hear a challenge to Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy for LGBTQ kids. It’s the latest example of how Democratic state attorneys general are fighting a multi-front fight right now. They’re the top law enforcement officials in their respective states, responsible for protecting their laws and policies. At the same time, they’re pitched in a near-daily battle against the Trump administration’s push to upend the federal government. Colorado Democratic Attorney General Philip Weiser talks about how he’s managing both tasks.

And in headlines: Ontario’s premier announced a 25 percent surcharge on electricity exports to the U.S. in response to President Trump’s tariffs, Elon Musk blamed Ukraine for outage problems at X/Twitter, and the White House revamps a government app to help undocumented migrants self-deport.
