- Yeshiva University, a traditional Jewish religious school, balked at recognizing the LGBT student organization because it would violate its teachings.
- New York Supreme Court Judge Lynn Kohler ruled in June that Yeshiva is not a religious entity, and therefore not exempt from the New York City Human Rights Law.
- Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who oversees emergency applications from New York, blocked the lower-court order but offered no further opinion.
