Court Matters
| US Appeals Court in Kentucky On September 1st, U.S. Appeals Court Judge David Hale heard arguments from the ACLU of Kentucky, who is currently representing families of transgender youth, in an attempt to reinstall injunctions against Kentucky’s Senate Bill 150, which bans medically necessary gender-affirming care for LGBTQ+ youth. | |
| Texas Supreme Court On August 31st, Texas District Judge Maria Cantú Hexsel brought an injunction to temporarily block SB 14 from going into effect, which followed a hearing in which PFLAG National’s CEO Brian K. Bond testified on behalf of PFLAG families; however, Texas AG Ken Paxton was granted an appeal with the Texas Supreme Court, making the bill effective on September 1st. | |
