California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a pioneer for LGBTQ+ rights who decades ago upset leaders in his own party when he defied state law and issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples, suggested Democrats were in the wrong in allowing transgender athletes to participate in female college and youth sports.
Yea he’s going no where in his presidential run
Neither are Democrats then cause like him or hate him, a majority of Americans agree on this. There are other ways to frame it & address the issues, like advocating for sports that are trans-inclusive, but to demand trans women play on women teams doesn’t help you in elections.
