California Attorney General Rob Bonta and 14 other attorneys general have filed an amicus brief in support of a petition to reverse a Ninth Circuit ruling that strikes down a Washington state law banning employment discrimination based on sexual orientation, warning that the ruling could cause significant mental, physical and financial harm to residents.
The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a California policy protecting the privacy of transgender students in K-12 schools, in a ruling hailed as a victory for parental rights by a group of parents near San Diego.
President Trump used his State of the Union address to advocate for increased state restrictions on gender-affirming care for transgender youth, which critics say could affect the rights of transgender minors and their families.
The ACLU is urging members of the U.S. House of Representatives to vote against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s bill that would criminalize the provision of gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under 18, which the ACLU describes as the most extreme anti-transgender legislation ever considered by Congress.
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to California’s civil rights law brought by a Bakersfield bakery, leaving intact a state appellate court decision that reinforced protections for same-sex couples seeking equal service at businesses open to the public.
