Last month, Chasten Buttigieg, a former teacher who is the husband of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, said the bill would 'kill kids,' citing a Trevor Project survey of LGBTQ teens and young adults that found 42% said they seriously considered suicide last year. They also fear the legislation could prevent educators from having classroom discussions about the topics and might erase LGBTQ history from the statewide curriculum. Opponents of the bill worry it would cause gay, lesbian, and transgender children to be even further marginalized.
