Republican lawmakers faced a speed bump as North Carolina after Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed legislation aimed at gender transition services and LGBTQ education.

The first of the bills is a Florida-style parental rights bill requiring schools to notify parents if their children seek to change their names or pronouns. It also bans the discussion of LGBTQ issues in elementary school. North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed three GOP bills targeting LGBT issues, but the Republican-held legislature is likely to overturn the move.

Cooper argues the bills instruct doctors to ignore"approved medical protocols" and effectively make the government"both the parent and the doctor."
