Andy Beshear's message to other politicians? Stop fixating on the LGBTQ+ community and focus on the issues actually impacting people. The Democratic governor of Kentucky appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan Sunday, where he was asked about other Democrats' recent push to abandon transgender people in order to supposedly win political favor. Beshear noted that he vetoed a major anti-LGBTQ+ bill as a Democrat in a red state during an election year and still won. “I voted down one of the nastiest anti-LGBTQ+ bills that my state had ever seen, in my election year. But I did two things," Beshear said. “Number one: I talked about why. That’s my faith, where I’m taught that all children are children of God, and I wanted to stick up for children [who] were being picked on." “But the second thing: Voters in my state knew the very next day, I was going to be working on jobs," he continued. "I was going to be opening a new health clinic, first hospital in our largest African American neighborhood in 150 years, we just cut the ribbon on. We’ve created two pediatric autism centers in Appalachia, so that people don’t have to drive two hours.”

Beshear vetoed a bill in 2023 that sought to ban gender-affirming care for minors and public school instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity at all grade levels, as well as forcing the outing of LGBTQ+ students to their guardians. Kentucky lawmakers still pushed through the bill after overriding Beshear's veto. Beshear also vetoed a bill in 2022 barring transgender girls and women from competing with cisgender females in school sports. Republicans overrode that, too, though Beshear was able to pass in September an executive order banning the dangerous and discredited practice of so-called "conversion therapy," which has not been overridden.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) went on CBS’s Face The Nation Sunday hosted by Margaret Brennan to explain why he rightly vetoed cruel anti-LGBTQ+ bills that got veto overridden anyway. Beshear said it best: “All children are children of God and I wanted to stick up for children who were being picked on.”

Maya Yang at The Guardian:

Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender person elected to Congress, on Sunday condemned Republicans’ latest attack on trans rights as “an attempt to misdirect” voters away from more central issues in communities, such as healthcare costs and economic inequality. [...] In a CBS interview on Sunday morning, the congresswoman-elect said: “I think we are all united that attempts to attack a vulnerable community are not only mean-spirited but really an attempt to misdirect. Because every single time we hear the incoming administration or Republicans in Congress talk about any vulnerable group in this country, we have to be clear that it is an attempt to distract.”

McBride added: “Every single time we hear them say the word ‘trans’, look at what they’re doing with their right hand. Look at what they’re doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing social security and Medicare. Look at what they’re doing, undermining workers.” McBride’s remarks come in response to Republican House speaker Mike Johnson last week banning trans people from using single-sex bathrooms on Capitol Hill that match their gender identity. This follows a bill introduced by South Carolina Republican representative Nancy Mace, who sought similar bathroom restrictions for all trans people using the Capitol, including congressional members, officers and employees.

[...] McBride said: “I didn’t run for the United States House of Representatives to talk about what bathroom I use. I didn’t run to talk about myself. I ran to deliver for Delawareans. While Republicans in Congress seem focused on bathrooms and trans people, and specifically me, I’m focused on rolling up my sleeves, beginning the hard work of delivering for Delawareans on the issues that I know keep them up at night.”

Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-DE) went on CBS’s Face The Nation yesterday to rightly call out the Republican Party’s hate-fueled campaign against trans people as “not only mean-spirited but really an attempt to misdirect” the voters.
