GLAD is at the forefront of challenging cruel and discriminatory bans on health care for transgender adolescents and adults around the country.

We’re fighting laws targeting transgender people in both Alabama and Florida. GLAD also filed a brief at the Supreme Court arguing that the constitution’s promise of equal protection must apply to transgender people, and that laws targeting transgender people fail that test. The Court’s decision in Skrmetti could have wide-ranging implications for the LGBTQ+ community. 

GLAD will be ready. Our team of attorneys is planning for every possible outcome. No matter what the Court decides, we will continue working and fighting until these discriminatory health care bans, and other laws targeting LGBTQ+ people, are overturned.  

But whichever way we move forward, it will require community support.
