Kentucky governor goes viral for explaining why he vetoed anti-trans bill: ‘Perfect answer’

The governor of Kentucky has gone viral after explaining why he vetoed the “nastiest” anti-LGBTQ+ bills he had seen during his career.

Democrat Andy Beshear said his decision was about “focus”, not just about support for equality.

“Remember, if we’re talking about the issue of the day… then we’re talking about jobs,” he said. “We’re only spending a third of the time talking about what people are worried about, and what impacts their life, the most.”

Beshear vetoed an anti-trans bill last year that would have forced under-18s in the state to detransition because of a ban on gender-affirming care.

During an appearance on CNN’s Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan on Sunday (17 November), Beshear was confronted by Democratic congressman Seth Moulton’s recent comments about transgender women in sports.
