CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A sorority being sued because its University of Wyoming chapter admitted a transgender woman seeks to dismiss the lawsuit, saying sorority rules allow the woman’s membership and a court can’t interfere with that. Kappa Kappa Gamma also says its six members suing over the woman’s induction last year have no legal right to be in a sorority that excludes transgender women. The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Cheyenne claims the woman’s presence in the sorority house made some sorority members uncomfortable. The transgender woman says in a separate filing the lawsuit flings “dehumanizing mud” and bullies her on the national stage.
