“Jon and Slo know that the battles for trans justice are more critical than ever,” the ACLU’s Romero added. Those school leaders now hope the conservative-majority Supreme Court will endorse its bathroom policy, which barred Grimm from the bathroom matching his gender identity, forcing him to use unisex, single-toilet bathrooms rather than go back to the girls’ lavatory. In 2019, Gavin Grimm won a summary judgment against Gloucester County’s school board in U.S. These dedicated civil rights attorneys are now gearing up for another battle in a war begun in 2014: A Virginia high school’s seven-year fight to stop a transgender boy - now a 21-year-old man - from using the boys’ bathroom, long after he’s graduated.

LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK - NOVEMBER 21, 2019: Gavin Grimm attends Out Magazine's Out100 Event. Supreme Court to argue cases of LGBTQ rights more than the ACLU. In the 90 years since, no other legal organization has appeared before the U.S. The ACLU’s advocacy on behalf of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans, as well as other orientations and expressions of queer identity, actually stretches all the way back to the 1930s.Īccording to the ACLU, the organization’s very first LGBTQ case involved the First Amendment and the play The Children’s Hour, which was censored because of “lesbian content.” They lost, but the case sparked a public outcry against censorship. Strangio just happens to be a transgender man. Its deputy director is attorney Chase Strangio, honored last year by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people of 2020. The project named for Randjelović and Stryker has been working to protect LGBTQ rights and the rights of Americans with HIV and AIDS since it was formally created in 1986. “We are thrilled to make this contribution to an organization that has viewed LGBTQ rights through this broader lens for over 100 years.” “We believe that viewing the fight for LGBTQ rights as part of broader fights for civil and human rights is the best protection for the LGBTQ community,” said Randjelović in the ACLU statement.
