WASHINGTON (OSV News) — The Trump administration Feb. 7 changed the government’s position in a Supreme Court case concerning a Tennessee state law banning certain types of medical or surgical gender reassignment procedures for minors who identify as transgender.
However, the administration also urged the Supreme Court to continue to review the Biden administration’s dispute, which was joined by LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.
The question at issue in the still-pending case before the Supreme Court is whether Tennessee’s law, Senate Bill 1, violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment that “no state can deny equal protection under the law to any person within its jurisdiction.”
The Biden administration, joined by groups including the American Civil Liberties Union, argued that the law did violate the 14th Amendment, but Deputy Solicitor General Curtis Gannon wrote in a Feb. 7 letter to the court on behalf of the Trump administration, “the government’s previously stated views no longer represent the United States’ position.”
