FRANKFORT, Ky. — The United States 6th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against the ACLU of Kentucky in its attempt to block sections of Senate Bill 150.

Earlier this month, the court heard arguments about whether the state may continue enforcing a portion of the law.

Senate Bill 150 passed earlier this year. It restricts the bathrooms students can use and allows teacher to use pronouns that differ from those requested by students.

The 6th Circuit Court ruled that the state does not need to be lifted, with the majority in the case saying the portion of the law does not violate the state constitution, the 14th amendment in the U.S. Constitution nor does the law prevent all therapies for gender dysphoria.

One judge in the case delivered a dissenting opinion saying that the portion of the law violates parental rights to decide what they believe is best for their minor children’s interests.

Following the ruling, the Kentucky Attorney General’s office released a statement which said, “A federal court in Louisville ruled in their favor, and General Cameron immediately sought and secured emergency relief from that ruling.

Today’s ruling keeps that relief in effect and finds that General Cameron is likely to secure a permanent victory when the case is decided on the merits.”

The ACLU also released a statement. It said, “We’re disappointed with the court’s ruling. The majority ignored the extensive evidence from the actual medical experts and the trial court who all agreed that this care is medically necessary, effective, and appropriate.”
