governor jerry brown on august 13th. it was supposed to take effect on just an first 2014. it was offered and it is a school success opportunity act that restates that state law prohibits opposition against lgbt students and it allows students to participate in all activities rather than their sex at birth. this law anyway's that all students including transgender students have the opportunity to fully participate in activities such as a sports and physical education. this policy that was written in
11:45 pm
collaboration with community based on organizations including the tsa and is - transgender students face much higher levels of discrepancy and bullying at schools than straight members of the lgbt community. this conclusion leads to isolation and can greatly impact in a negative way a states attendance and academic performance and acceptance at school. this was offered by a supervisor and anyway's that schools understand their responsibility and for all students.
11:46 pm

in this state there are still many districts that don't know how to support the trarpd students and lack basic protection to those students. transgender students in california continue to be included from participating in programs and facilities. ass ashton a transgender boy from northern california for example, was assigned to girls p and made that harder to focus on school. there are some. stories about trarpd students who have excluded from programs. why am i introducing this resolution today. unfortunately we're facing

11:50 pm
coalition wants to repeal the law because they refuse to recognize the people have a different identity than what they have on their birth. this sends a chilling message to children. i think it's important we lead the way in fighting this effort. as a gay man, i will not sit by idly when this is launched against the lgbt community. we've come far but the same people who were trying to keep us from experiencing our right to marry their trying to is to want the lgbt youth from the basic right to an education and feeling safe. colleagues, i want to thank you for your co- sponsoring and i
