Nassau County Faces Dual Lawsuits Over New Transgender Sports Ban
New York AG Letitia James and NYCLU challenge the recently signed law, citing state anti-discrimination statutes.
- The law prohibits transgender women from participating in women's sports at county-owned facilities.
- Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman signed the law after a similar executive order was struck down.
- Attorney General Letitia James argues the ban violates state laws against gender identity discrimination.
- NYCLU has filed a separate lawsuit on behalf of the Long Island Roller Rebels.
- Blakeman defends the law, claiming it ensures fairness and safety in women's sports.
