ACLU-Led Lawsuit for NEA Funding Relief Denied
The court refused to block the NEA from reimposing a restriction on funding for projects deemed to promote ‘gender ideology,’ even as they maintained that the rule likely violates the First Amendment.

The move comes just a day after the ACLU filed a suit on behalf of a number of arts organizations, though for now the “gender ideology” language is still part of the grant awarding process.
Filed by the ACLU on behalf of theatre organizations, including TCG, the suit is aimed at a new anti-trans guideline recently added by the endowment.
