Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs signed two executive orders to ensure the availability of sex-change procedures for state employees and to restrict “conversion therapy” as harmful to the health and well-being of LGBT individuals.

“Our LGBT community should never have to face hate and discrimination, and I will do everything in my power to fight for full equality,” Hobbs, a Democrat, wrote in a statement on June 27 to announce the signing of both executive orders.
