Gov. Gavin Newsom signed multiple pieces of legislation Saturday, strengthening protections and supports for LGBTQ+ Californians, including measures to support vulnerable youth better.
"LGBTQ youth deserve a supportive and affirming home the same as any other child," said California Senator Scott Wiener, who authored the bill, in a written statement. "I'm proud that California is taking this step to expand support for LGBTQ youth at a time when elected leaders in other states are targeting them with cruel restrictions and hate."Wiener's office shared that more than 30% of foster youth identify as LGBTQ.
