Kansas Governor Vetoes Trans Youth Care and Bathroom Bills.

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly vetoed a set of anti-transgender measures, including a ban on gender-affirming care for children and teenagers, but Republican lawmakers who pushed them appeared to have the votes to override most of her actions. The measures on bathrooms, jails, and overnight school trips passed earlier this month with the two-thirds majorities needed to override a veto. Kelly's actions highlighted how her Republican-leaning state has become a fiercely contested battleground as GOP lawmakers across the U.S. target LGBTQ+ rights through several hundred proposals.
