Ted Lieu filed an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of Colorado's ban on conversion therapy for minors.

The brief received support from 187 members of Congress, emphasizing the potential psychological harm of conversion therapy. Takano stated, “Patients should know when they are being treated by a licensed healthcare professional that the professional is adhering to the standards of their profession.”
Critics of conversion therapy, including Lieu and Merkley, highlight the need for legal protections against what they deem fraudulent practices. Various medical groups have condemned conversion therapy, a stance echoed by 23 states and D.C. that have enacted policies against it.
