Gloucester County School Boar<\/em>d in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. Grimm, a transgender <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">boy<\/a>, filed suit against the school board alleging it violated Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 by denying him use of the <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">boy<\/a>\u2019s restroom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese companies are sending a powerful message to transgender children and their families that America\u2019s leading businesses have their backs,\u201d said HRC President Chad Griffin. \u201cAcross the country, corporate leaders are speaking out because they know attacking transgender youth isn&#8217;t just shameful &#8212; it also puts the families of their employees and customers at risk. Transgender students like Gavin are entitled to the full protection of the law, and must be affirmed, respected and protected in the classroom and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leading American businesses have long expressed a commitment to LGBTQ diversity and inclusion in their workforces as evidenced by inclusive policies, practices and benefits. Businesses realize being inclusive is not only the right thing to do &#8212; it just makes good business sense as well. Companies that are inclusive of LGBTQ people and employees with LGBTQ family members are able to attract and retain the best and brightest across a wide spectrum of diversity, reap the benefits from increased engagement and productivity, and actively participate in the vibrant LGBTQ consumer marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>Having built inclusive workplaces for their transgender employees or even transgender dependents of employees, companies have a vested interest in the legal landscape in which those employees and their dependents <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">live<\/a>, work or go to school.<\/p>\n<p>The 59 companies, representing over 1.6 million employees and $670 billion in revenue, signing <a href=\"\/\/assets.hrc.org\/\/files\/documents\/16-273_bsac_Apple.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">the brief<\/a> are:<\/p>\n<p>Affirm, Inc.; Airbnb, Inc.; Akamai Technologies, Inc.; <a href=\"http:\/\/Amazon.com\" class=\"autohyperlink\">Amazon.com<\/a>, Inc.; Apple; AppNexus Inc.; Asana, Inc.; Bloomberg L.P.; Box, Inc.; Codecademy; Credo Mobile, Inc.; Dropbox, Inc.; eBay Inc.; Fastly, Inc.; Flipboard, Inc.; General Assembly Space, Inc.; GitHub, Inc.; IBM Corporation; Indiegogo, Inc.; Intel Corporation; Kaiser Permanente; Kickstarter, PBC; Knotel, Inc.; Linden Lab; LinkedIn Corporation; MAC Cosmetics Inc.; Mapbox, Inc.; Marin Software Incorporated; MassMutual Life Insurance Company; Meetup, Inc.; Microsoft Corporation; Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams; MongoDB Inc.; NetApp, Inc.; Next Fifteen Communications Corp; <a href=\"http:\/\/Nextdoor.com\" class=\"autohyperlink\">Nextdoor.com<\/a>, Inc.; NIO; Pandora Media, Inc.; PayPal Holdings, Inc.; Postmates Inc.; Replacements, Ltd.; RetailMeNot, Inc.; <a href=\"http:\/\/Salesforce.com\" class=\"autohyperlink\">Salesforce.com<\/a>, Inc.; Shutterstock, Inc.; Slack Technologies, Inc.; Spotify USA Inc.; SugarCRM Inc.; The OutCast Agency; The Gap, Inc.; Tumblr, Inc.; Twilio Inc.; Twitter Inc.; Warby Parker; Weebly, Inc.; Williams-Sonoma, Inc.; Xerox Corporation; Yahoo!

Wang. \u201cThis brief underscores the ongoing commitment of major U.S. corporations and HRC to the fight for the full protection of the law for all individuals,\u201d added BakerHostetler Partner Edward J. Jacobs.<\/p>\n<p>In June, a federal court ordered the Gloucester County School Board to allow Grimm full access to the restroom that corresponds with his gender identity, consistent with a ruling from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hrc.org\/blog\/hrc-hails-historic-federal-court-decision-upholding-civil-rights-protection\" target=\"_blank\">Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals<\/a>. In August, the Supreme Court of the United States halted the lower court\u2019s order, allowing the school board\u2019s discriminatory policy to remain in place while the court awaited an application by the school board to have its full appeal heard.<\/p>\n<p>In March, the Supreme Court of the United States sent the Grimm <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hrc.org\/blog\/breaking-united-states-supreme-court-remands-and-vacates-gavin-grimm-case\" target=\"_blank\">case back to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals<\/a> following the Trump Administration&#8217;s decision to rescind guidance that protected transgender children in schools. Because the Fourth Circuit&#8217;s original ruling was heavily based on the Obama Administration&#8217;s guidance, the Supreme Court has asked the lower court to revisit the case and rule on the underlying statutory question regarding the scope of Title IX. Title IX should be understood to prohibit discrimination against transgender students including with respect to restroom access, regardless of the guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the lawyers representing Virginia transgender <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">teen<\/a> Gavin Grimm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/aponline\/2017\/05\/08\/us\/ap-us-transgender-bathroom-lawsuit-virginia.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">filed a brief<\/a> in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals asserting that the case remains relevant even after Grimm graduates from high school.<\/p>\n<p>Allowing transgender people to access facilities consistent with their gender identity &#8212; something compelled for years by laws in 18 states as well as embraced by hundreds of cities and school districts around the country &#8212; has not resulted in problems.
