The L.A. County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to suspend all official travel to Texas and Florida due to highly publicized policies directed at LGBTQ+ youth and families.

Florida Republicans on Tuesday passed a bill to forbid instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade, rejecting a wave of criticism that it marginalizes LGBTQ people.

In their motion, Kuehl and Solis said the Texas order"flies in the face of all that we know about best practices when it comes to supporting children and young adults to discover who they are and feel secure in their sense of self.'' Abbott's declaration last month followed an opinion issued by that state's attorney general declaring that gender-affirming treatments fall under the category of child abuse under state law. Abbott then ordered the state to investigate any instances of minors undergoing"elective procedures for gender transitioning.''
