Gov. Spencer Cox reacts to a bill banning transgender children from participating in school sports. He says he will veto it when it reaches his desk. Full story:
SALT LAKE CITY — Governor Spencer Cox has promised a veto of a bill that seemingly had compromise on the issue of transgender children playing school sports, then suddenly switched to an all-out ban.
"This is an effective policy to put a pin in this debate, and leave it there before we see a lot of uptick in transgender females participating in sports," Sen. McCay, R-Riverton, said, citing his own daughters who participate in sports and a desire to"draw a line in the sand." Sen. David Hinkins, R-Orangeville, defended the policy telling the Senate floor:"In the equine industry, they don't run fillies against colts."
The substituted bill passed 16-13, with the Senate Majority Leader and Senate Majority Whip breaking ranks and voting against it. Senate Minority Whip Luz Escamilla, D-Salt Lake City, called it an"attack on children."
