(Worthy News) – In a surprise move, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) vetoed a bill that would have allowed judges to consider whether a parent “affirms” a child’s “gender identity” among other factors during custody battles.

In his veto message, Newsom said that the bill might be used to limit the “civil rights of vulnerable minorities,” saying that judges in California were already supposed to look at parental “affirmation” during determinations of child safety. The bill had drawn backlash from advocates who said that parents could lose custody of a child if they don’t agree with a child’s claims to be transgender.

“I appreciate the passion and values that led the author to introduce this bill. I share a deep commitment to advancing the rights of transgender Californians, an effort that has guided my decisions through many decades in public office,” he said. [ Source: Daily Wire (Read More…) ]:
