“California has some of the strongest pro LGBTQ+ laws in the nation and with the bills signed today, our march toward equality takes an additional step forward,” (California governor) Newsom said Saturday.

Gavin Newsom also signed a bill that would help track LGBTQ+ healthcare, which begs the question - how will California track COVID statistics accurately if transgenders are included as if they were born the sex they ID as? COVID disproportionately affects males, so is CA going to skew the world's COVID stats for transgenders' feelz?

And what about gender fluids and non-binarie? What's the point in keeping health statistics, or any kind of statistics if people can identify into and out of biological sex?

Back when Bush the II was running for re-election and Gavin Newsom was mayor of San Francisco, Newsom decided to make gay marriage legal. Footage of joyous same-sex marriages in San Francisco flooded the airwaves. Well, that would have been great(!!!) except the US apparently was not ready for it, not even California (Prop 8 was proposed a few years later) and I have always thought that Newsom helped swing the election to Bush II.

Now, in the most crucial election of my lifetime, Gavin Newsom does it again - men in women's prisons - conservatives are Tweeting and people across the political spectrum are aghast.

Thanks, Gavin Newsom, thanks for getting a crazy Republican asshole re-elected president, AGAIN.

Prop 8 - California passed a bill to ban gay marriage a few years after Newsom legalized it in San Francisco https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_California_Proposition_8
