BOISE, Idaho – It has been a busy month for Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador, who has joined onto the Gem State’s second lawsuit targeting transgender minors this month.
Labrador announced that his office has joined an amicus brief in favor of the State of Florida, which is seeking permission to enforce a law completely banning gender-affirming care for transgender youth, on Friday.
Idaho has already passed gender affirming care bans for both minors and adults who utilize public healthcare funding. While the latter is being challenged in court by the American Civil Liberties Union, the former has already been approved by the US Supreme Court.
The Florida law contains similar language banning LGBTQ+ healthcare. It is opposed by the Human Rights Campaign, GLAD Legal Advocates and Lambda Legal.
