Prior to legislative action in Frankfort, Wednesday proponents and opponents of Senate Bill 150 had morning rallies. The measure bans gender-affirming care for minors and prohibits trans students from using the bathroom which corresponds to their gender identity. Both the House and Senate overrode Governor Beshear’s veto and took final votes. Bonnie Barnett of Owingsville believes a backlash to gay marriage helped create interest in this bill.
“And I think now this is the natural swing in the wrong direction, in my opinion, and that maybe, maybe it will swing back now,” said Barnett.
