Edwards Disappointed With Override Of Veto Banning Sex Changes For Kids

Gov. John Bel Edwards says he's disappointed but not surprised at the overturn of his veto of a bill banning sex changes for children.

An overwhelming two-thirds majority in both chambers successfully overturned the veto on Tuesday.

The bill bans hormone therapy and sex-change surgery for minors. Edwards says the bill is unconstitutional.

Vetoes were sustained on a bill requiring teachers to use a student's birth pronouns, and another banning classroom discussion of sexual orientation.
