Parson On Kansas City’s Sanctuary City Status Regarding Transgender Treatment For Minors

(MISSOURINET) – The state of Missouri and Kansas City are in a standoff of sorts over two pending new laws strongly opposed by the LGBTQ community. One would charge medical providers for “coercing” anyone under 18 years old to undergo a gender transition, and the other would ban transgender athletes from competing in female sports. Governor Mike Parson supports both bills:

Kansas City recently passed an ordinance declaring itself a sanctuary city for youths seeking gender transition, with city officials saying they won’t enforce the new state law once it takes effect. Parson told Missourinet affiliate KCMO that the state will be enforcing the new laws.
