GLAD Files Motion in Support of Maine Transgender Student Denied Bathroom Access

GLAD has filed a motion for summary judgment in a case in which we are representing a transgender teen girl whose Orono, Maine elementary school denied her use of the girls’ restroom. The motion filed this week in Penobscot County Superior Court in Bangor, Maine, argues that the school’s action violated the state law prohibiting discrimination in schools on the basis of gender identity. More information about the case, and the full memo in support of the motion for summary judgment, are available here.
