GOP AGs from Idaho and West Virginia Ask Supreme Court on July 11 to Uphold Transgender Sports Ban

Jul 11, 2024, 09:36 PM

The GOP Attorneys General of Idaho and West Virginia have formally requested the Supreme Court to review and uphold their state laws that prevent biological males who identify as female from competing on girls’ sports teams. This appeal, made on July 11, follows lower court rulings that blocked these laws. The states argue that these laws are necessary to protect the integrity of women's sports against challenges from transgender athletes. The Supreme Court's decision on this matter could set a significant precedent for similar laws across the country.
