The U.S. Supreme Court announced on Monday it won’t take up new cases related to LGBT rights: one a challenge to a state ban on “ex-gay” therapy, the other a lawsuit seeking gender reassignment surgery for a transgender inmate.
In an order list on Monday, the court announced it denied certiorari, or refused to take up, both the cases as part of long list of litigation it has declined to hear.
The order list reflects decisions the court made during its conference on Friday when it was set to consider whether to grant certiorari in two cases. The vote tally isn’t recorded, but the court’s indication that it declined certiorari means at least four votes weren’t present on the bench to agree to take up the cases.
