Ohio Governor DeWine's Veto Upholds Trans Rights Against GOP-Led Bill
TL;DR Summary
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, a Republican, vetoed HB 68, a bill that would restrict gender-affirming care for trans youths and bar transgender female athletes from girls' sports, citing parental rights to make medical decisions for their children. Despite the veto being a win for LGBTQ+ advocates, Ohio Republicans are pushing to override it, arguing the bill's necessity for protecting children and female athletes. The Ohio house plans to reconvene early to address the veto, with a supermajority likely to succeed in the override. Hundreds of Ohio families have opposed the bill, emphasizing the importance of parental choice in medical care for their children.
