The Virginia school board that denied transgender student Gavin Grimm access to the boys’ bathroom will pay $1.3 million in a lawsuit settlement.
“It’s absolutely vindication,” Grimm told Insider. “The court found that what they did was wrong and it was discrimination and it was not going to go without consequence, and I think that’s fantastic.”
Grimm, 22, sued the Gloucester County School Board in 2015 after it prohibited him from using the bathroom that matched his gender identity, arguing the policy violated Title IX, which bans sex discrimination in schools.
The American Civil Liberties Union represented Grimm in the lawsuit, which was praised by transgender rights advocates. In June, the Supreme Court declined to review the case, upholding the lower court ruling that Grimm was discriminated against in violation of federal law.
The whole dammed world has gone insane. This little demented queer gets 1.3 million dollars because normal people refuse acknowledge his psychotic delusion that he is a girl. Unf’ingbelievable!
No bathroom is worth that money. Purely ludicrous.
