A judge has dismissed a lawsuit contesting a transgender woman’s admission into a sorority at the University of Wyoming
FILE - Two people walk on the University of Wyoming campus, June 14, 2016, in Laramie, Wyo. On Friday, Aug. 25, 2023, a judge dismissed a lawsuit contesting a transgender woman's admission into a sorority at the University of Wyoming, ruling that he could not override how the private, voluntary organization defined a woman and order that she not belong.
The case at Wyoming's only four-year public university drew widespread attention as transgender people fight for more acceptance in schools, athletics, workplaces and elsewhere, while others push back. With no definition of a woman in sorority bylaws, Johnson ruled that he could not impose the six sisters' definition of a woman in place of the sorority's more expansive definition provided in court.
The sorority sisters who sued said Langford's presence in their sorority house made them uncomfortable. But while the lawsuit portrayed Langford as a “sexual predator,” claims about her behavior turned out to be a “nothing more than a drunken rumor,” Berkness said.
