It comes after County Executive Bruce Blakeman signed the controversial bill into law. Before Blakeman signed the bill into law, it passed the Legislature by a 12 to 5 vote.
New York Attorney General Letitia James and the New York Civil Liberties Union filed separate lawsuits Monday against Nassau County and County Executive Bruce Blakeman over a newly enacted county law that would ban transgender girls and women from participating in women's sporting events at county-run parks and facilities.
The NYCLU posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that it is "suing Nassau County - again - for their discriminatory law banning trans girls and women from participating in girls’ and women’s sports at county-run facilities. The law is nearly identical to the County Executive’s order, which our lawsuit recently struck down."
Blakeman responded with a statement, saying, ““I am very disappointed that the Attorney General would attempt to frustrate Nassau County’s desire to protect the integrity of women’s sports, ensure the safety of its participants and provide a safe environment for girls and women to compete.”Trump picks Sen.
