It's irritating how these articles always choose such misleading clickbait headlines.

  • First, a governor does not "pass laws". The legislature does that. Then the governor can veto, sign, or do neither--in which case it passes by default. Our (KS) governor is a Democrat and has vetoed so many anti-LGBTQ+ and abortion restriction bills I've lost count. Unfortunately, the supermajority republican legislature has managed to override a bunch of her vetoes.
  • The other bill, the "ID required to view porn" bill is making the rounds through most red states. It's not specifically about "acts of homosexuality"--that is one item in the list of what is considered "sexual content" in the bill. She did not sign that bill, but it will pass because she didn't veto it either. It'll be interesting to see (here and in the other states that passed this) what kind of "feedback" these legislators hear from their constituents who can no longer view their porn anonymously--or at all, if the sites stop operating in these states.
