Kentucky Republicans Pass Controversial Anti-Trans Bill Despite Governor's Veto

Kentucky's Republican-dominated Legislature has passed one of the nation's toughest anti-trans bills, Senate Bill 150, despite protests from hundreds of LGBTQ+ youths and their allies. The legislation prohibits conversations around sexual orientation or gender identity in school for students of all grades, requires school districts to forbid trans students from using the bathroom tied to their gender identities, allows teachers to refuse to use a student’s preferred pronouns, bans all gender-affirming medical care for trans youth, and requires doctors to de-transition minors in their care if they’re using any of the restricted treatment options. The ACLU of Kentucky has vowed to challenge the law in court.

The Republican-controlled Kentucky Legislature has overridden the Democratic governor's veto of a sweeping anti-trans bill, which includes bans on young people's access to gender-affirming care and the ability to use the bathroom that aligns with their gender identity. The bill also bars discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools and gives teachers the right to refuse to use transgender students' correct pronouns. The ACLU of Kentucky has already signaled that it is prepared to challenge the law.

Transgender rights face uphill battle in state legislatures.

A controversial anti-trans bill has been passed by the Kentucky Senate after being stuffed into another piece of legislation. The bill requires school districts to form bathroom policies based on biological sex, limits the discussion of LGBTQ issues in K-12 sexual education classes, and blocks a Kentucky Department of Education recommendation that teachers refer to children by their preferred pronouns. The ACLU of Kentucky has criticized the bill, saying it targets people who simply want to live their lives. Governor Beshear has signaled that he would veto any anti-LGBTQ+ bills, but legislators can override the veto when they reconvene.
