Kentucky anti-trans bill passes despite governor's veto | Works24

Kentucky's new anti-trans law bans conversations around sexual orientation or gender identity in schools, bans gender-affirming care for trans youth.

Hundreds of LGBTQ+ youths and their allies, young and old, protested in a last-ditch attempt to persuade Kentucky’s Republican-dominated Legislature to let one of the nation's toughest anti-trans bills die. Their efforts were to no avail.

Shortly after gaveling in Wednesday afternoon, the Kentucky Senate voted to override Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear's veto of Senate Bill 150, and little more than 30 minutes later, the House followed suit, making it law.
