Gavin Grimm, the transgender teenager challenging his Virginia high school’s discriminatory bathroom policy, received a bittersweet victory on Tuesday when a federal court said the school’s policy violated his constitutional rights.

Senators Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) introduced the Do No Harm Act in the U.S. Senate today. The bill honors two core American values: religious freedom and equal protection of the law. And it couldn’t be more important right now.

“The Do No Harm Act will ensure that we honor two core American values: religious freedom and the promise of equal protection under the law,” said Rachel Laser, president and CEO of Americans United.

Americans United and allies explained to a federal appeals court why the U.S. House of Representatives must allow nontheistic guest chaplains to offer secular invocations. Nontheists are as capable as theists of solemnizing events by calling upon values that our nation holds dear – values like unity, tolerance and equality that are, in fact, undermined by the House chaplain’s policy.
