We’re just months away from midterm elections and one issue may be top of mind for some voters, as more states consider and pass new legislation.

The LGBTQ+ dvocacy and lobbying group tells Newsy 2022 is shaping up to be another record-breaking legislative year, especially for one group of kids.
HRC says this year, more than half of the pending anti-LGBTQ+ bills nationwide specifically focus on transgender youth.
But why are they the center of a political debate now? And who is driving the legislation?
