A national civil rights group sued Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt on Monday over his decision to prohibit the state from issuing birth certificates listing a nonbinary option or allowing transgender people to change their gender designation.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma in Tulsa by attorneys for Lambda Legal on behalf of a transgender woman and two transgender men who live in Oklahoma. Defendants include Stitt, Interim Commissioner of Health Keith Reed and State Registrar of Vital Records Kelly Baker.
