Community reacts to trans athlete bill becoming law

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - For the second year in a row, a bill to ban trans athletes from competing in women’s sports has made it to the governor. But rather than veto or sign the bill, Gov. John Bel Edwards allowed the bill to become law in a different way.

“I’ve allowed that bill to become law without my signature, not because I thought the bill was good,” said the governor.

Proponents of the bill say it’s now a done deal, but Peyton Michelle with La. Trans Advocacy says the fight is far from over.

“We’ll definitely be exploring litigation; we’ll also just be watching to see how things develop in other states,” said Michelle.
