The American Parents Coalition has asked the Trump administration to investigate the YMCA over allegations of “unlawful gender-based discrimination in its programs and policies.”
In a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner, Alleigh Marré, executive director of the American Parents Coalition, stated that the YMCA has been adopting policies that disfavor young girls.
“The YMCA’s policy of disfavoring and imperiling young girls and favoring and empowering those who choose to present as a gender other than their own is antithetical to the principles of federal civil rights law and gender equality,” the letter said.
“It is morally wrong and legally impermissible,” Marré added.
According to Fox News, an archived page dated July 3, 2017, of the YMCA’s website was titled, “How to Create a Safe Space for LGBTQ+ Campers.”
“Ensure all campers and staff have access to the facilities aligned with their gender identity and comfort within facility and resource limitations,” the page said while also recommending that youth development professionals “use gender-neutral (or self-identified) pronouns when referencing guardians/parents, partners, families and significant others.”
