Republican Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb vetoed a bill Monday that would have barred transgender girls from participating in women’s school sports, bucking a trend among GOP governors. In a letter to the state’s House of Representatives, Holcomb said he felt the bill “falls short” of providing clarity on a policy for the fairness of K-12 sports in Indiana. The governor highlighted the likelihood of litigation, pointing to suits filed in other states as well as in Indiana federal court before the introduction of the bill by a middle school student seeking to play school sports on the team of their choice.
