LGBTQ Groups ‘Sickened’ by Newsom’s Trans Athlete Response

Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., has found himself the target of several LGBTQ activists in California following comments he made during his podcast where he sympathized with girls being forced to compete against biological males in sports, CapRadio reported.

“We were certainly caught off guard and woke up incredibly sickened and disgusted about seeing somebody who’s been an ally of our community use this language,” said Democratic Assemblymember Chris Ward who chairs the California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus.

During the Wednesday debut episode of his “This is Gavin Newsom” podcast, Newsom spoke with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. The firm ally of President Donald Trump asked Newsom, “Would you say no men in female sports?”
