"School districts may choose how to organize their bathrooms," U.S. District Judge David Nye ruled. "[T]he State of Idaho will not be mandating that decision at this time."
The courts are now split because they don’t know how the Supreme Court will rule on this issue so some would rather be safe than sorry. Equality is evasive and is becoming an oxymoron. It’s almost like we starting all over.
They're representing the plaintiffs, but, yes. And, yes, they're one of the main legal orgs out there doing these cases. The ACLU is on many of them, and NCLR and GLAD are on a number as well. (Will edit if I realize I missed someone!) There are some other smaller groups, too, and some individual litigators doing great work. (Both the Tennessee and Florida anti-drag laws are being, thus far successfully, fought by individual litigators, for example.)
Not really. It’s not that things were great; it’s that there weren’t legal limits. Most of these anti-trans laws are creating restrictions where none existing previously. As Nye explains, not all schools in Idaho have trans-inclusive policies, but — before this passed — there was no law against schools choosing to have them.
Good on the judge.

If we can't be cruel to the children, what's the point? /s
What a bunch of idiots...
I saw Lambda Legal is the plaintiffs. Is that the group you think is doing the most to help limit the anti-queer bills?

Hard to believe the status quo is a positive for any letter in the LGBT series, but that it is is ... amazing?
