North Dakota’s state Senate set a record of sorts by passing 10 anti-LGBTQ bills Monday.
North Dakota’s state Senate set a record of sorts by passing 10 anti-LGBTQ bills Monday—in what the Human Rights Campaign, a pro-LGBTQ advocacy group, called “the highest number of legislative attacks targeting the community in a single day.” Eight of those bills are now on their way to GOP Gov. Doug Burgum, who will either approve or veto the measures.
Two bills have been thrown back to the House for amendments; one which prohibits gender marker changes on birth certificates if a person identifies as transgender and another which prohibits transgender people from using bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond with their gender identity in certain state-operated facilities. “It’s shameful, yet not surprising,” HRC State Legislative Director and Senior Counsel Cathryn Oakley said in a statement.

Veto stands: Transgender pronouns OK in North Dakota schoolsTeachers in North Dakota can still refer to transgender students by the personal pronouns they use, after lawmakers on Monday failed to override the governor’s veto of a controversial bill to place restrictions on educators. House lawmakers fell short of the two-thirds majority needed to block the veto, days after Republican Gov. Doug Burgum’s office announced the veto and the Senate overrode it. The bill would have prohibited public school teachers and employees from acknowledging the personal pronouns a transgender student uses, unless they received permission from the student’s parents as well as a school administrator.
