Tennessee governor signs laws restricting gender-affirming care for minors, drag shows
CBSN
Tennessee's Republican Gov. Bill Lee on Thursday signed legislation banning minors from receiving gender-affirming care despite threats from civil rights organizations that vowed to sue if and when the bill becomes law.
Lee also signed another law restricting drag shows from taking place in public or in front of children.
Across the United States, state lawmakers have introduced legislation attacking gender-affirming medical care for young people, even as such services have been available in the U.S. for more than a decade and are endorsed by major medical associations.
