The Louisiana Legislature will head into a veto override session on Tuesday, after a majority of lawmakers declined to submit ballots that would have cancelled the veto session. Although Gov. Edwards vetoed 25 bills and portions of three pieces of budget legislation, it's believed the three anti-LGBTQ+ measures will be at the core of this override session.

Louisiana Congressman Rep. Mike Johnson introduced a bill that would prohibit the discussion of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender dysphoria, and any related subjects with children under 10 at any public or private institution that receives federal funds.
Hundreds of Benjamin Franklin High School students walked out in protest against anti-LGBTQ legislation proposed in the 2022 Legislative Session.
