Newsom's Actions on LGBTQ Rights in California: A Mixed Bag
TL;DR Summary
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed three bills supporting LGBTQ youth, including measures to provide cultural competency training for school staff, establish a task force for LGBTQ student needs, and keep gender and sex identifier change petitions confidential. This comes after Newsom controversially vetoed a bill that would have considered parents' affirmation of their child's gender identity in custody disputes, citing concerns about changing legal standards for the judiciary. State Senator Scott Wiener criticized the veto, calling it a "tragedy for trans kids."
