A Virginia school board discriminated against 16-year-old transgender student Gavin Grimm by banning him from the boys' restroom, a US Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.

The ruling from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in Richmond does not immediately permit Gavin to use the boy's restroom at Gloucester High School, as the case must be redirected to a lower court that originally upheld the school's ruling. Gavin's case, however, does have immediate implications for North Carolina's controversial HB2 law, which includes a provision requiring transgender students to use the bathroom corresponding to the gender listed on their birth certificates
