CA law protecting LGBTQ seniors from misgendering struck down by court
LGBTQ+ rights activists in California say they will challenge an appeals court decision that struck down part of a state law meant to protect LGBTQ+ nursing home residents by prohibiting staff from these care facilities from using anything other than the resident’s self-determined name and pronouns. The court’s ruling came from a panel of three judges: Elena J. Durate (backrow, second from left), Ronald B. Robie (front row, first on left), and Harry E. Hull, Jr. (front row, fourth from the left). Photo: Third District Court of Appeal.
