Gavin Newsom’s Late-Night Veto Deals Blow to Transgender Agenda.
A Bill Denounced by Elon Musk Gets Vetoed by California Governor Gavin Newsom
The Democratic California Governor, Gavin Newsom, has vetoed a bill that was criticized by Elon Musk.
The bill, known as AB 957, was passed by the California legislature this year. It would have required judges to consider whether each parent was supporting and affirming the chosen gender identity of the child in custody battles.
Musk expressed his frustration with the bill in a tweet last month.
This bill is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. What it would actually mean is that if you disagree with the other parent about sterilizing your child, you lose custody. Utter madness! https://t.co/Mn2KcXCwUL

In his veto message, Newsom acknowledged the importance of the bill but expressed concerns about the Executive and Legislative branches dictating legal standards for the Judicial branch. He believed that existing law already covered the issue.
Democratic Assemblywoman Lori Wilson expressed disappointment with the veto, while Republican Assemblyman Bill Essayli praised the decision.
This is fantastic news and the right call by @GavinNewsom. https://t.co/pFVT2y4LfY

Wow
Late on a Friday night, Gavin Newsom just vetoed AB 957, which would have required judges to remove custody of children from parents who don’t “affirm” a child’s “gender identity or gender expression.” pic.twitter.com/fXfdYtBNS4

Assemblyman Bill Essayli praised Newsom’s veto, while Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener criticized the decision.
Governor Newsom has been such a staunch ally to the LGBTQ community. A true champion. Respectfully, however, this veto is a mistake.

The bill could still be overridden by the Legislature with a two-thirds vote in both chambers.
