Surprisingly, pro-trans Governor Gavin Newsom just vetoed the bill. In a statement explaining his veto, Newsom praised the "passion and values" of its sponsors. But he also expressed worries that it could spark a backlash in conservative states that could "diminish the civil rights of vulnerable communities."
JDFI is not impressed. Governor Newsom is at the top of the list of governors promoting radical trans ideology in public schools and in society at large. His veto is more likely an attempt to soften his anti-parent image as speculation mounts that he may run for president. Whatever the explanation, anything that causes a pause in the assault on the family in California is welcomed.
