AB 495 is a dangerous California bill that threatens parental rights at their core. If passed, it could allow the state to remove custody from parents who do not affirm their child’s gender identity, labeling such disagreement as “abuse” or “neglect.”
This bill redefines what qualifies as a “safe” home—placing the government, not parents, in the position of deciding what is best for a child. It undermines the family unit and sets a chilling precedent for state interference in private parenting decisions based on ideological compliance.
We are standing together at the State Capitol in Sacramento on Tuesday, August 19 to oppose AB 495.
