TL;DR Summary

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear's veto of a bill banning gender-affirming care for minors has put the state in the middle of a national fight over transgender rights. The legislation is part of a widespread movement by Republican state lawmakers in other states approving extensive measures that restrict the rights of LGBTQ+ people this year. The veto has set off competing messages likely to be repeated until the November election, when Bluegrass State voters will decide whether to reward the Democratic governor with a second term or hand over the governor's office to a Republican.
