Lawsuit aims to strike down LGBTQ antidiscrimination protections in Pennsylvania

Two public school districts and several parents have sued Pennsylvania to overturn LGBTQ antidiscrimination protections, claiming the regulation is illegal and exceeds legislative intent.
The lawsuit seeks to prevent the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission from addressing discrimination complaints based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
The regulation, approved in late 2022, expanded the definition of sex discrimination, which the plaintiffs argue violates the Legislature's authority.
Gov. Josh Shapiro and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission are named in the lawsuit as part of a national debate regarding transgender athletes in women's sports.
