Lambda Legal, Southern Legal Counsel, Florida Health Justice Project, and National Health Law Program today issued the following statement in response to yesterday’s announcement from the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), which oversees Florida’s Medicaid Program, that it will start a rule-making process concerning Medicaid coverage for gender-affirming health care

“In response we have a message for LGBTQ+ youth in Florida, to transgender youth in Texas, and to LGBTQ+ people everywhere: You are not alone and we will fight for you.”

The ruling reversed a lower court ruling and struck down local ordinances banning so-called conversion therapy on minors.

Lambda Legal today urged the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit to affirm a lower court ruling and require a suburban Jacksonville, Florida, school district to allow a transgender male student to continue to use the restroom that matches who he is.
