Louisiana Legislature Overrides Governor\u2019s Veto of Bill Protecting Kids From Transgender Surgeries.<\/a><\/p>\n

The cultural conflicts that play out in various states become complicated when the legislature and the executive come from different parties. Take Louisiana for example: in the Bayou State, the legislature is heavily Republican, while Gov. John Bel Edwards is a Democrat.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the\u00a0state legislature passed multiple bills<\/a>\u00a0that sought to counter the transgender madness that\u2019s sweeping our culture. The legislature voted on and passed three bills:\u00a0HB81<\/a>\u00a0would have required teachers and school staff to use a child\u2019s birth pronouns unless parents consented to use alternate pronouns;\u00a0HB466<\/a>\u00a0was Louisiana\u2019s version of Florida\u2019s Parental Rights in Education law; and\u00a0HB648<\/a>\u00a0prohibited gender treatments for minors. As one would expect of a Democrat, Edwards vetoed all three bills.<\/p>\n

The GOP-dominated legislature began to work to override the vetoes, but Republicans couldn\u2019t muster enough support to get to the two-thirds majority that the law requires to override the vetoes on HB81 and HB466. However, large majorities in both chambers voted to override Edwards\u2019 veto of HB648, so that bill will become law.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to the bi-partisan support of the Louisiana State Senate, we are one step closer to protecting children in Louisiana from experimental chemical and surgical sex change procedures. HB648 has passed both chambers of the state legislature with veto-proof majorities, and the people of Louisiana have made it clear that our children are worth fighting for,\u201d State Rep. Gabe Firment (R-22nd district), who sponsored the bill, said in a statement.

I started my battle against medically transitioning children over a year ago.<\/p>\n

The first state I shared my story with was Louisiana. Last year, Louisiana tried to ban talk therapy for kids with GD.<\/p>\n

As of today, Louisiana has done a full 180 and has now placed age restrictions\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/kJUipnKtYx<\/a><\/p>\n
