Gov. Greg Abbott has drawn national criticism for ordering state child welfare officials to investigate parents of transgender youths.
A new media-analysis study has named Gov. Greg Abbott the nation's most-transphobic governor, beating out Florida's Ron DeSantis. Both GOP governors have been lightning rods for criticism based on their records on LGBTQ+ issues. The study by reputation-management company Signal AI was released Tuesday, May 17, the International Day Against Transphobia. To conduct its analysis, the tech firm parsed reports from top-tier U.S. media organizations on LGBTQ+ topics from April 1, 2021 to April 30 of this year. It also examined which governors racked up the best and worst sentiments in that coverage.
Abbott topped the list with 210 instances of coverage, of which 209 were negative and only one was positive. DeSantis had 131 negative mentions and 61 positive. The remainder of the governors in the study's top 10, including Arkansas' Asa Hutchinson and South Dakota's Kristi Noem, failed to hit triple digits in their coverage.
