Three conservative justices said Monday that the U.S. Supreme Court should have taken up the case of a Christian counselor challenging the state of Washington’s ban on “conversion therapy” for minors. While Justice Brett Kavanaugh noted he would have granted the petition for a writ of certiorari but didn’t write why, Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito both wrote dissents elaborating on their position.

In a March petition, which was rejected Monday, the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative legal group that “advances the God-given right to live and speak the Truth […] in law, policy, and the public square,” identified Brian Tingley as a “practicing Christian” and “licensed marriage and family counselor who helps clients with various issues, including sexuality and gender identity.”
