The federal government will begin enforcing protections for LGBTQ Americans in healthcare again, reversing a ban put in place by the Trump administration, the Health and Human Services Department announced.

The decision to do so was made in light of the Supreme Court’s finding in Bostock v. Clayton County, which held that LGBTQ people are protected from discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
