Gavin Newsom\u003c/a>’s national profile rises and as he considers a presidential campaign, some LGBTQ+ advocates\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12033818/lgbtq-activists-rally-at-newsoms-home-demand-stronger-trans-rights-commitment\"> have questioned the governor’s commitment\u003c/a> to queer and transgender constituents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s given statements about transgender people on his podcast, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XJ6rQDRKGA\">\u003cem>This is Gavin Newsom\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, and a conversation with the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, in which Newsom called it “deeply unfair” to allow transgender athletes to participate in girls’ sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Evan Low, former assemblymember and CEO of the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund, a political PAC promoting LGBTQ+ progressives, says Newsom is still a staunch ally of the community, one who helped secure marriage equality in the state as well as civil rights protections for adoption, hospital visitation and the workplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He has that track record and that history and that should not be lost on members of the community,” Low said. “All of these things happened because we were able to build bridges [and] build coalitions versus that of an overly simplistic polarization of infighting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what was Newsom’s record in this latest legislative update?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What legislation did Newsom sign supporting LGBTQ+ Californians?\u003c/h2>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB82\">AB 82\u003c/a>: This law expands current privacy protections for reproductive health care providers and patients to also include gender-affirming health care providers and patients. California won’t assist other states in investigating patients or doctors for providing reproductive health care like abortion or gender‑affirming care.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB678\">AB 678\u003c/a>: This new law makes a change to a group that recommends solutions to homelessness to the state government. The Interagency Council on Homelessness now must coordinate with representatives from LGBTQ+ communities to better serve queer people experiencing homelessness.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB727\">AB 727\u003c/a> An existing law, which went into effect this summer, requires schools to print the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline on student ID cards for grades 7 and up. This law will expand that rule to include the phone number and text line for the LGBTQ+ suicide-prevention hotline from the Trevor Project.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB822\">AB 822\u003c/a> This new law extends the Commission on the State of Hate for an additional four years. It is intended to help state agencies, law enforcement and the public stay informed about hate crime trends.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1084\">AB 1084\u003c/a> The law makes the process of changing legal documents (name, gender or sex identifier) faster and less burdensome, especially for adults. For minors who want to change their name or gender marker on their birth certificate or ID, as long as all living parents sign forms, there doesn’t need to be a hearing to approve it.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1487\">AB 1487\u003c/a> The bill renames a fund that offers grants for programs aimed at improving health care access for gender nonconforming people. It also broadens its scope to serve younger people and immigrants.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB59\">SB 59\u003c/a> This means that when someone files a legal petition to change their name or their gender marker on an official document in California, the court records are kept confidential. Previously, those protections applied only to minors, but this law immediately extends them, with the goal of minimizing the risk that court records could be used to out someone.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB278\">SB 278\u003c/a> The bill allows health care providers to share some anonymized HIV test results without written consent. The administrators of Medi-Cal plans say they need the data in order to identify gaps in care. Patients can opt out.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB450\">SB 450\u003c/a> The law protects adoption rights for LGBTQ+ parents. It means LGBTQ+ adoptive parents who leave California for a state with less inclusive adoption laws won’t lose their parental rights to children born in California.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB497\">SB 497\u003c/a> The law bans health care providers from disclosing medical records related to gender‑affirming care services in response to civil or criminal actions under other states’ laws.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB504\">SB 504\u003c/a> aims to improve how quickly HIV cases are tracked and treated in California by allowing health care providers to share identifying information about a person with HIV with local public health agencies — when necessary — to connect the person with care. It still limits who can access this information and specifies when sharing the information is actually necessary.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB590\">SB 590\u003c/a> expands existing laws around paid family leave to include chosen family members. That means LGBTQ+ people can designate a non-blood-related person to be considered a family member so they can receive benefits while caring for that person.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003ch2>What bills did Newsom veto?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Newsom vetoed two notable health care access bills, including one — \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB418\">SB 418\u003c/a> — which would have offered an additional safeguard for people who receive hormone therapy to access treatments without disruption, amid federal attacks on gender affirming care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At a time when transgender people are being singled out for targeted discrimination, removal of their health care, and denial of their existence, it is heartbreaking that this bill was vetoed,” said state Sen. Caroline Menjivar, D-San Fernando, who wrote the bill, in a statement. “SB 418 was the most tangible and effective legislative tool introduced this year to help [Transgender Gender Diverse, and Intersex] folks weather this political storm.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12050964\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12050964\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/20250725_KaiserTransProtest_GC-1_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/20250725_KaiserTransProtest_GC-1_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/20250725_KaiserTransProtest_GC-1_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/20250725_KaiserTransProtest_GC-1_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Union nurses and community supporters rally outside of Kaiser Permanente, honoring transgender patients affected by Kaiser’s decision to halt gender-affirming care to minors, on July 25, 2025. \u003ccite>(Gina Castro/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In Newsom’s veto statement, he said he supported the intent of protecting access to treatment, but thought the bill risked raising already high health insurance premiums. Craig Pulsipher, legislative director for Equality California, a co-sponsor of both vetoed bills, pushed back against the governor’s answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The data and analysis on this bill show that the impact on health insurance premiums would be negligible,” Pulsipher said.[aside postID=news_12025068 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/IMG_5742-1020x680.jpg']“The governor’s decision leaves trans Californians and many others who rely on hormone therapy vulnerable to treatment disruptions at a time when they are facing really extreme attacks from the federal government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom rejected \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB554\">AB 554\u003c/a> for a similar reason. It would have required most private health plans in California to cover antiretroviral drugs, devices, or products like PrEP without delays in access caused by plans requiring prior authorization, step therapy, or cost‑sharing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medi-Cal managed care plans would have been exempt, but in his veto message, Newsom raised concerns about increased costs to health plans under cost-sharing provisions in the Affordable Care Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have seen many attacks from the Trump administration, including from the U.S. Health Secretary RFK Jr., threatening to fire members of a federal body that makes recommendations around preventive healthcare,” Pulsipher said. “We are extremely concerned about the impact of those actions in California on access to PrEP, which is a really important medication to prevent HIV.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pulsipher said he plans to address the governor’s concerns and reintroduce both bills next legislative session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

And the question we ask ourselves is, ‘Is he violating the law?’” Bonta said. “To undermine birthright citizenship without going through the process … to amend the Constitution?

In 1983, the Asian Law Caucus helped overturn the conviction of \u003ca href=\"https://korematsuinstitute.org\">Fred Korematsu\u003c/a>, an Oakland man who refused the U.S. Army’s order to go into an incarceration camp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve seen this playbook before — using national security as a pretext to target specific communities,” Kohli said. “History shows that harsh immigration policies don’t make us safer or more prosperous. They destabilize communities, hurt local businesses that depend on immigrant workers and divert resources from addressing genuine public safety concerns.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent weeks, Bonta has been touring the state to spread the word about the state’s “sanctuary laws,” such as the \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB54\">2017 California Values Act\u003c/a>, which limit local law enforcement and public resources from being used to assist the federal government in immigration enforcement.[aside postID=news_12023124 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/DonaldTrumpInaugurationAP-1020x680.jpg']State laws don’t prevent immigration enforcement agencies from operating in California, and the U.S. Border Patrol arrested 78 people in Kern County last week. The incident sparked fear in immigrant communities, and some agricultural workers reportedly stayed away from their jobs for days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Masih Fouladi, executive director of the California Immigrant Policy Center, said his organization is working with other groups to offer “know your rights” workshops to immigrants who may lack legal status. Among other things, he counsels immigrants not to open the door for immigration agents unless they can produce a judicial warrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fouladi said he is concerned that Trump’s declaration of a national emergency at the border to mobilize military resources could lead to mistreatment of migrants and violations of their rights, similar to what occurred when the first Trump administration declared a “zero tolerance” policy, which led to migrant children being forcibly separated from their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those types of policies the last time around were so dehumanizing that tore families apart and led to family separation,” he said. “We will be working with local and state elected officials to see how we can make sure that families, at least here in California, are as protected as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Trump rescinded a number of former President Joe Biden’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/initial-rescissions-of-harmful-executive-orders-and-actions/\">executive orders on immigration\u003c/a>, including measures to coordinate with other countries in addressing the causes of migration, reunify separated migrant families and rebuild the refugee resettlement program dismantled during the first Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also signed presidential actions to:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Halt refugee admissions for at least four months.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Prosecute unauthorized immigrants.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Hold more unauthorized immigrants in detention until they are deported.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Terminate Biden-era humanitarian parole protections to certain migrants from countries including Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, as well as those vetted at border appointments scheduled with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/about/mobile-apps-directory/cbpone\">CBP One smartphone app\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Continue the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Designate cartels as terrorist organizations.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Reinstate the “Remain in Mexico” policy of his first term, which required asylum seekers to await their immigration court hearings outside the U.S.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Establish new Homeland Security task forces in every state, with local as well as federal law enforcement participation, a move that would challenge California’s sanctuary laws.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Mandates requiring workplaces and federal agencies to honor a person’s preferred pronouns would also be overturned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government may also prohibit taxpayer funds from being used to subsidize gender-affirming health care, and could force facilities that receive federal funding such as public schools and prisons to separate people on the basis of biological sex in intimate spaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are sexes that are not changeable, and they are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality,” the White House official said to reporters on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12023122 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/250120-YouthClimateProtest-06-BL-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The basis of Trump’s order is unfounded, Mahogany argued. Defining sex as a biological binary of only male and female excludes not only transgender but also intersex people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gender has been something that has been defined differently between cultures throughout human history,” Mahogany said. “It’s really important to acknowledge that the Trump administration can say whatever it wants. It doesn’t necessarily change the realities that we are living every day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahogany said they’re concerned about what could happen to transgender people who are barred from accessing gender-affirming care, and said it’s likely that rates of depression and suicidal ideation may go up. They also said that disregarding a person’s gender identity could leave transgender individuals vulnerable to sexual and physical violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Mahogany, Trump’s executive order and the conservative rhetoric around sex and gender may also hurt people who are not transgender. Admonishments against the participation of transgender athletes in women’s sports, for example, have resulted in verbal and physical assaults on cisgender athletes who do not conform to gender expectations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When they say things like we’re doing this to protect women or biological women, what we’re seeing is that the opposite is happening and that women are being negatively impacted by these policies,” Mahogany said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moving forward, community organizations and leaders will have to work with the state and with local municipalities to secure protections for transgender people that may not be reflected at the federal level, Mahogany said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

It’s this kind of a mentality where the people who abide by the law — who pay the taxes — are the ones at fault.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some attendees were lifelong Republicans, others said that their interest in Trump’s firebrand politics stemmed from a gradual political evolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12023140\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12023140\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/250120-InaugurationWatchParty-23.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/250120-InaugurationWatchParty-23.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/250120-InaugurationWatchParty-23-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/250120-InaugurationWatchParty-23-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/250120-InaugurationWatchParty-23-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/250120-InaugurationWatchParty-23-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/250120-InaugurationWatchParty-23-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carly Matthews (left) and Philip Wing (center) listen to the national anthem being sung by Christopher Macchio during a watch party at Harry’s Bar in San Francisco on Monday, Jan. 20, 2025, for the inauguration ceremony for President Donald Trump. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I never thought I would be at an event like this in my life,” said Carly Matthews. “I moved from the left to the right in a span of 18 months, and I got my citizenship so that I could vote in this election.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matthews said reckless government spending and disrespect to law enforcement disturbed her, so she made an account on X — the once San Francisco-based social media platform formerly known as Twitter that Elon Musk bought and rebranded — and started watching full-length interviews with Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I call it ‘getting X-ucated,’” Matthews joked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
