U.S. Supreme Court Declines To Hear Major Transgender Bathroom Case
HuffPost
The court's refusal to hear a Virginia school board's appeal was hailed as an incredible victory for LGBTQ students across the country.
The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a Virginia school board’s appeal to reinstate its transgender bathroom ban in a major victory for the nation’s LGBTQ students. The court on Monday declined to consider an appeal by the Gloucester County School Board, effectively leaving in place a lower court’s ruling that the board acted unlawfully when it refused to allow then-high school student Gavin Grimm, who is transgender, to use the bathroom that aligned with his gender identity. The court did not provide a comment on its decision. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas voted to hear the board’s appeal.More Related News
