The Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law banning transgender procedures for minors on Wednesday, finding it does not violate the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion in the 6-3 decision upholding Tennessee’s SB 1. Justices Clarence Thomas, Amy Coney Barrett, and Samuel Alito wrote concurring opinions, while Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a dissenting opinion, which was joined by Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Elena Kagan. Kagan also wrote her own dissent.

“We are asked to decide whether SB1 is subject to heightened scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause. We hold it is not. SB1 does not classify on any bases that warrant heightened review,” Roberts wrote in the majority opinion.
