Indiana’s Republican-dominated state legislature has voted to override the GOP governor’s veto of a measure banning transgender athletes from competing in girls’ school sports, joining several other states with discriminatory bans targeting transgender young people.
Governor Eric Holcomb vetoed House Bill 1041 earlier this year, noting in his letter that he found “no evidence” to support GOP claims that the bill aims to address “fairness” in school sports and warning that the measure opens the state to costly legal battles.
