The North Carolina Legislature voted Wednesday to override Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto against three bills that would ban gender-affirming health care for transgender minors, prevent transgender women and girls from competing on female sports teams and limit classroom instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity.

Cooper vetoed all three bills last month, writing in the veto message that “Republicans are serving up a triple threat of political culture wars.”

    Loyalty isn’t the issue. You either represent the interests of the voters who voted for you or you step down, regardless of party. Otherwise, it’s tantamount to (and potentially actually is) fraud.
