Editor Note: History has been updated about ACLU of Ohio’s statement about their ongoing court proceedings against HB 68 in Ohio.
The United States Supreme Court maintained the ban on Tennessee in the scope of childcare for minors in Decision 6-3 on Wednesday. Organizations around Ohio, which support transgender rights, condemned the ruling, with many call him discriminatory and inconsistent with the title of the title of IX of the Court in 2020.
According to Associated PressThe chief judge John Roberts said in most opinions that Tennessee’s law does not violate the clause equal to the protection of the constitution.
Despite the decision US against SkrmettiIN Aclu of Ohio Fred Led Levenson’s legal director said that the case against HB 68 in Ohio-which prohibits sex care for minors and limits the participation of trans in sport.
“Our case raises separate constitutional claims based on the Ohio constitution,” Levenson said in a statement. “We will continue to do everything in our power to ensure that transgender children and their families will be able to live and develop freely.”
Main medical associations such as American Psychological Association and American Medical Association They supported sex care. After prohibiting sex care, the legislator Utah ordered a report that stated that care “” Positive mental health and psychosocial functioning “were generated.
Equality of ohio A statement was issued in which it was stated that the decision “would have a significant impact on trance rights and legal precedent throughout the country.”
“This ruling is a loss, but it will not stop us,” said Dwayne Steward Executive Director. “We will continue to appear for our youth. No court can erase us, and no law can silence the truth that Trans people belong and deserve care.”
Dara Adkison, executive director TransohioHe called the ruling “a betrayal of a constitutional promise equal to protection.”
“This ruling gives a green light discriminating against laws that deny the care, chopes families and forces families to make painful choices,” Adkison said in release.
Loveboldly Executive director Ben Huelskamp said that the decision was ideological and exclusive.
“It will continue to say Trans that there is something bad in being who God created them,” he said. “Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves – not to make them of their existence.”
Equitas Health decided that the judgment is “in clear opposition to the historical application of an equal protection clause.” President and CEO David Munar quoted the Trevor study that the anti-trans-trans regulations escalate suicide among Trans and Non-Bin to 72%.
“Tennessee law and other bans on medical care of Trans youth are not only discriminatory,” said Munar. “They are fatal.”
I’m glad The senior director of Transgender and Queer Rights Jennifer Levi wrote that the Supreme Court “did not do his work today.”
“When the political system is distributed and the legislators bow to the popular hostility, the judiciary must be the spine of the constitution – Levi said in a communiqué. “Instead, he decided to look away, abandoning both sensitive children and parents who love them.”
The decision “abandons transgender youth and their families on political attacks,” said Shannon Minter, legal director National Center for LGBTQ Rights.
“He ignored a clear discrimination and disregarded his own legal precedent, allowing legislators to attack young people for being transgender,” said Minter in a communiqué.
Human rights campaign President Kelley Robinson called the “destructive” decision. Robinson criticized a rational control that the court promoted, which can add additional legal obstacles to future court battles regarding transgender discrimination.
“The Tribunal decided to allow politicians to interfere with medical decisions that should be taken by doctors, patients and family – the cruel betrayal of children who needed them to defend justice when it mattered,” said Robinson. Ding
