A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that Indiana's law banning minors from seeking gender-transitioning treatments is enforceable after a judge issued an injunction last year.
INDIANAPOLIS — An Indiana bill banning gender-affirming care for minors that was originally passed in 2023 can now go into effect immediately, a court ruled Tuesday. The US Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay on Tuesday that lifted an injunction from a lower court.
A lower court had mostly blocked enforcement of a state law that banned gender-transition care for minors, but a federal appellate court lifted that injunction on Tuesday.
The ruling marks the latest decision in a legal challenge the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana filed against the ban, enacted last spring amid a national push by GOP-led legislatures to curb LGBTQ+ rights.
