Newsom signs law forcing California schools to promote LGBT ‘hotline’ on student IDs


(LifeSiteNews) — Radical leftist California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill last week that requires schools to advertise an LGBT “hotline” for gender-confused kids.

The bill, AB 727, was signed into law October 10. It requires all of the state’s middle schools, high schools, and colleges to print the phone number for the Trevor Project, a radical LGBT organization that has long provided an online platform for kids and young adults to chat about their “gender identities.” The law comes as a response to the Trump administration cutting federal funding for the Trevor Project’s hotline over the summer.

“Every student deserves to feel safe, supported, and seen for who they are. While some in Washington turn their backs on LGBTQ youth, California is choosing compassion over cruelty,” Newsom said in a statement after signing the bill. “AB 727 makes it clear: your identity doesn’t disqualify you from care and community – it’s exactly why we are fighting to make it easier to reach.”

Despite Newsom’s claim about LGBT-identifying students being “disqualified” from mental health care, California law already requires all public and private schools to print information for a general suicide prevention hotline on student IDs.

Medical research has also found that while gender-confused children are more likely to commit suicide, there is overwhelming evidence that people who undergo so-called “gender transitioning,” as the Trevor Project advocates, are more likely to commit suicide than those who are not given irreversible surgery.

Back in July, Trump’s Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) shut down its LGBT extension of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline as part of the president’s defunding of radical LGBT programs.

“The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline will no longer silo LGB+ youth services, also known as the ‘Press 3 option,’ to focus on serving all help seekers, including those previously served through the Press 3 option,” SAMHSA’s July press release read.

Newsom has a long history of supporting LGBT ideology in schools. In 2024, the Democratic governor signed AB 1955, a particularly egregious bill that requires educators to keep students’ “gender identities” a secret, prompting lawsuits from parents.

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
