San Francisco AIDS foundation and the GLBT Historical Society sued the Trump Administration over a trio of executive orders denying the existence of transgender people and cracking down on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
The complaint filed in federal court in San Francisco follows a similar case brought in Washington, which challenged the constitutionality of the same three executive orders.
The California suit said the administration is seeking to punish and defund the nonprofits for acknowledging the existence of transgender people and advocating for their rights. Its orders, therefore, violate the groups’ free speech, equal protection, and due process rights.
The lawsuit comes after some of the nonprofits say they have received funding termination or stop work orders from federal agencies in recent weeks. The groups seek a court order blocking the enforcement of the executive orders and declaring them unconstitutional.
Not one step back!!
