Utah Gov. Spencer Cox vetoed a ban on transgender students playing girls’ sports on Tuesday, becoming the second Republican governor this week to overrule state lawmakers who have taken on youth sports in a broader culture war over how Americans view gender and sexuality.
Cox joins Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb, who vetoed a statewide ban on Monday. Holcomb said Indiana’s Legislature had not demonstrated that transgender kids had undermined fairness in sports.
Cox, for his part, referenced the potential effects on transgender youth.
“I struggle to understand so much of it and the science is conflicting. When in doubt however, I always try to err on the side of kindness, mercy and compassion,” Cox wrote in a letter to Utah legislative leaders.
The vetoes come as Cox and Holcomb’s counterparts in nearly a dozen conservative-leaning states have enacted similar legislation and politicians have honed in on transgender kids in sports as a campaign issue in states ranging from Missouri to Pennsylvania.
In Utah, minutes after the veto, legislative leaders announced they would convene lawmakers on Friday to further consider the bill and discuss overriding the veto.

Oh, good grief. How does anyone that stupid get to elected as governor?
The science is unsettled?
For God sakes, pull out your underwear and look down.
These people are lunatics.
Can either of these governors have their veto overruled ?
Between Romney and this twat, does the word Republican mean Demonrat lite in Utah?
hopefully this guy will be primaried. inexcusable.
““I struggle to understand so much of it and the science is conflicting.”
Governor, sometimes when science confuses you, it’s best to set up an experiment or demonstration.
Let’s get a true woman, one born that way, 22 years old, who has been employed as a librarian for a few years. We’ll tell her you are a rapist.
Then, let’s get a fellow named Roscoe, same age, from the country, who’s been helping on the family farm since he was six. We’ll tell him you are a child molester.
Now, you get to pick which one to fight. Is the science clearing up for you?
No, stupid. It's quite simple. Test their DNA, and if they are male, they are male. Ditto broads.
The Repugnant Party gets more blue everyday.
