The bill bans gender affirming medical care for trans youth under the age of 18, among other things.
Monday on Kentucky Tonight, we asked State Senator Jay Williams, a Republican from Verona, to respond to one of his constituents who says she will leave Kentucky because of Senate Bill 150.
He says the people in his district on the whole agree with his support for the bill.
The constituents throughout the state of Kentucky, this is their position is not the position of the General Assembly's position of the vast majority of our constituents.
Now, that doesn't mean there's not constituents like her that have a different opinion of what to do, but we clearly believe that we are on the side of our constituents.
And this is Kentucky values.
That's what we're espousing.
That's what we're hearing from our constituents.
That's what we will continue to to work on.
And I'm saddened that she's leaving Kentucky and feels like she has to.
But we have to go with the majority.
This is not the opinion of the majority of your constituents or the rest of the state.
There's only been one poll that's been done on the bill, 150 of the provisions within it was done by Mason-Dixon polling, and that is a 7170.
He doesn't want you to hear this number.
71% of Kentucky voters oppose the state government overruling parents rights to obtain treatment for their transgender children.
Show me a better number and show me a different number.
You can see more of that very spirited discussion on Monday night about issues affecting the LGBTQ community online and on demand at K Dawgs k y tonight.
