Kentucky ban on transgender minor care upheld by judge until appeal ruling.
A Victory for the Rule of Law: Federal Judge Allows Transgender Healthcare Ban to Go into Effect
A federal judge has made a controversial decision to allow a law banning transgender healthcare to go into effect, despite previously ruling against it. U.S. District Judge David Hale cited a ruling from another court regarding a similar law in Tennessee as the basis for his decision.
“The latest ruling from the District Court is a victory for the rule of law and for the protection of our children,” Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron tweeted on Friday. “I’ll continue to defend Senate Bill 150 and stand up for the right of children to be children, free from radical gender ideology.”
This development comes after the bill faced a turbulent history. It was initially passed by the legislature earlier this year, only to be vetoed by Governor Andy Beshear (D-KY). However, the legislature ultimately overturned Beshear’s veto.
“Hatred and division only make us weaker, but love, kindness, and acceptance bring us closer together and make us stronger,” Beshear tweeted. “Let’s do what’s right and lead with love, Kentucky.”
The Kentucky case, along with the Tennessee case, will be considered together by the U.S. 6th Circuit of Appeals. The court aims to issue a ruling on both cases by September 30th. It’s worth noting that federal courts have already blocked similar laws in Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, and Indiana.
