Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear Vetoes Bill Restricting Rights of Transgender Young People, Citing “Irreparable Harm” to State’s Reputation and Economy

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has vetoed a Republican bill that would have restricted the rights of transgender young people in the state, citing potential harm to the state's reputation and economy. Opponents of the bill say it would have caused irreparable harm, and the outcome of the veto will be determined next week when lawmakers reconvene to decide whether to override it. The veto is seen as a victory for transgender rights advocates, who have been fighting for greater protections for transgender young people in Kentucky.
