# NY designates state a ‘safe haven’ for trans youth, families and health providers

* #NewYork #Governor #KathyHochul #signed a #bill into #law on Sunday that #designates the #state as a #SafeHaven for #transgender #youth, #families, and #HealthCare #providers.
* The bill #prohibits state and #local #LawEnforcement from #cooperating with #investigations into families who seek #GenderAffirming #care for their #trans #children.
* It also #protects the #health #information of transgender people who seek care in New York, and it #prohibits #discrimination against transgender people in #employment, #housing, and #public #accommodations.
* The bill was passed in response to a record number of anti-LGBTQ+ bills being introduced nationwide.
Hochul said that the bill "sends a clear message that New York is a place where everyone is welcome, regardless of their gender identity."*
* The bill was passed by the New York State #Assembly and #Senate with #overwhelming #bipartisan #support.
* It is the first bill of its kind in the United States.
* The bill is being hailed by LGBTQ+ advocates as a major victory.
* However, some conservative groups have criticized the bill, arguing that it will harm children.
