The Supreme Court’s next term could be its most consequential yet for LGBTQ+ rights.
The court is set to hear at least three LGBTQ+-related challenges, the most it’s heard in a single term. These cases could have broad repercussions on conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ youth and the participation of trans athletes in women’s and girls’ sports.
“It’s going to be harrowing for our community to have to engage with these cases and hope that the court does not issue sweeping negative decisions that cause serious harm — additional serious harm — beyond what they’ve already caused,” Shannon Minter, legal director of the National Center for LGBTQ Rights, told NOTUS.
