Indiana Governor Signs Controversial Bills Affecting LGBTQ+ Community.
TL;DR
Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb has signed a bill that requires schools to notify parents if a student requests a name or pronoun change at school, which critics fear could out transgender children to their families. The law is one of several targeting LGBTQ+ people in the state, including a bill that could make it easier to ban books from public school libraries. Supporters of the legislation argue that it keeps parents informed about their children at school, while opponents say it erodes trust between students and teachers and could lead to the banning of books with LGBTQ+ themes.
