SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A gay rights advocacy group wants a judge to halt Utah state laws it says discriminate against LGBT students by restricting talk about homosexuality in schools.
The National Center for Lesbian Rights argues in a request for a preliminary injunction filed Wednesday that the laws serve no purpose other than expressing the state’s moral disapproval of homosexuality.
The state has denied it has anti-gay school laws, saying the case quotes selectively from state law and school rules.
The state Board of Education didn’t immediately have comment on the new filing.
