A controversial anti-LGBTQ+ bill restricting what names and pronouns transgender and nonbinary students can use in K-12 schools was approved Wednesday in the Louisiana Senate, placing it two steps away from becoming law.

by Rep. Raymond Crews, R-Bossier City, prohibits the use of transgender and nonbinary youths’ chosen names and pronouns in K-12 public schools without parental permission. It passed on a 27–9 vote, with Democratic Sen. Katrina Jackson-Andrews of Monroe joining Republicans in supporting the bill…

“By mandating discriminatory measures in our schools, this legislation not only strips trans students of their fundamental rights but also fosters a climate of fear and exclusion,” Peyton Rose Michelle, executive director of Louisiana Trans Advocates, said in a statement. “Louisiana deserves better than laws that undermine the dignity of its youth.”
