Tennessee can enforce ban on transgender care for minors, court says
Advocates gather for a rally at the state capitol complex in Nashville to oppose a series of bills that target the LGBTQ community on Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2023. Lawmakers are considering efforts to ban gender-affirming care for transgender minors, restrict where certain drag shows can take place and bar private companies that manage care for Tennessee's Medicaid program from contracting with the state if they cover gender-transitioning care.
