Statement of Attorney General Aaron M. Frey on the Supreme Court’s ruling on West Virginia v. B.P.J.
“Today’s ruling, while predictable, is yet another disturbing affront to personal liberties by providing states with a license to discriminate. The Court was clear that this decision had no bearing with respect to a state’s choice to include transgender athletes and as such, will not implicate the Department of Justice’s case against Maine. We will continue to defend Maine’s law.”
