A religious liberty organisation is taking legal action to protect Massachussetts churches from having to open transgender bathrooms.
The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) has filed a federal lawsuit against a new state law which they say is "punishing" the protected religious speech of churches and pastors.
It comes as states are suing the Obama administration over its efforts to make hospitals, schools and other institutions change their policies towards transgender issues.
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) said it sued on behalf of four Massachusetts churches to protect their right to operate their facilities "in a manner that doesn't violate their core religious beliefs." The lawsuit names Democratic state Attorney General Maura Healey and members of the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination as defendants.
