AR Times: “Big business has entered a federal lawsuit challenging the state law that prohibits gender-affirming care for minors in Arkansas.
The ACLU filed the suit along with doctors who provide the care and families whose children are receiving it. They have asked for an injunction to prevent the law from taking effect on July 27.
A star-studded roster of medical groups had already filed to intervene in the case on the side of the families. The U.S. Justice Department has also asked to intervene to protect the rights of transgender people.
Today’s filing injects a political dimension. It puts the multibillion-dollar Walton Family Foundation and other major business interests in the fight on the side of transgender people.”
