New Hampshire’s Republican governor vows to veto harmful anti-LGBTQ+ bill
The governor of New Hampshire, Chris Sununu, has promised to veto the state’s harmful anti-LGBTQ+ bill in a new statement. Over the last few months, anti-LGBTQ+ legislation has been sweeping across the United States.
From numerous ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bills to the array of anti-trans bans regarding sports and gender-affirming care, the hate towards the community has taken over the political landscape.
New Hampshire is one of the most recent states that have joined the attack on LGBTQ+ individuals. On 19 May, conservative lawmakers in the state’s House of Representatives and Senate agreed to advance the controversial House Bill 1431 for a vote in both chambers.
Under the heinous bill, schools would be tasked with creating policies that require staff to out closeted LGBTQ+ youth to their parents or guardians.
