Maryland Gov. Wes Moore Says He Would Support Underage Son’s Transition but Opposes Puberty Blockers

The unscripted podcast exchange could challenge his carefully crafted image during a reelection year with 2028 buzz.

Overview

  • Moore, in a PBD Podcast interview released Tuesday, said he would not tell an underage son to wait until 18 to transition and would support him emotionally.
  • He emphasized staying closely involved as a parent and said he would not condemn, castigate, or eject his child from the home for wanting to transition.
  • He drew a clear line on medical steps by saying he would not allow his child to use puberty blockers and called such decisions personal to families.
  • Right-leaning outlets amplified the clip and framed the stance as politically risky for a Democrat discussed as a 2028 prospect, with RNC Research sharing the exchange.
  • Reports differed on the son’s age, citing 12 or 14, and Moore has not issued further clarification as he seeks a second term in Maryland.
