Rally For Transgender Youth Rights Near Supreme Court

U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) speaks at a rally supporting gender-affirming care at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation near the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. on June 18, 2025 in response to the court's ruling upholding Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors. The Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision in the case of U.S. v. Skrmetti that Tennessee's SB1 ban, which bars puberty blockers and hormone therapies for transgender minors, does not violate the US Constitution and can remain in effect.
