Republican Governor of Indiana Who Replaced Pence Vetoes Trans Sports Ban | Queer News Tonight

On Monday the Republican governor of Indiana, Eric Holcomb, vetoed a bill that would have banned transgender females from competing in girls' sports.  In a letter he wrote that there was a "presumption of the policy laid out in HEA 1041 is that there is an existing problem in K-12 sports in Indiana that requires further state government intervention. It implies that the goals of consistency and fairness in competitive female sports are not currently being met. After thorough review, I find no evidence to support either claim even if I support the overall goal." With simple majorities in both the House and Senate, state lawmakers could override Holcomb's decision with a veto override vote as soon as May 24, when legislative leaders have a tentative meeting planned.
