Description
More than 400 anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced in U.S. state legislatures this year, and more than twenty have been signed into law. That’s greater than the last five years–combined. Some of these pieces of legislation seek to outlaw access to gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth. Others would make it easier to ban books from school libraries.
Bloomberg reporter Ella Ceron joins this episode to talk about the momentum behind this push and which states are pressing ahead with these bills. We also hear from Democratic state senator Shevrin Jones of Florida—where ten anti-LGBTQ bills are on the table—about the political battle in his state.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
