Kansas passes controversial bills limiting LGBTQ+ rights.

Kansas lawmakers have passed a bill requiring the state's medical board to revoke the licenses of doctors who provide gender-affirming care to minors. The bill would ban puberty-blocking drugs and hormone therapy for transgender youth. The governor is expected to veto the bill, but supporters do not have the two-thirds majorities in both chambers needed to override a veto. Thirteen other states have enacted similar laws, though federal judges have blocked enforcement of them in Alabama and Arkansas. LGBTQ-rights advocates believe they're seeing a national effort to erase transgender, non-binary, gender non-conforming and gender fluid people from American society, at least legally.
