Here are the top 3 stories today in Bowling Green:

1. Members of the Bowling Green community are speaking out about Senate Bill 150, which some critics say could have negative effects on transgender youth in the state. The bill passed the state senate last week in a 30-7 vote but was the subject of much debate among community members. The bill now moves to the desk of Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear. (WBKO)
2. A new drive-through coffee shop will open next Saturday, Apr. 1, in Bowling Green. The restaurant, 7 Brew, is located on Scottsville Road and offers a variety of caffeinated brews, including sugar-free and non-dairy options. Customers who stop by during the grand opening on Saturday will receive a free t-shirt with the purchase of a large drink (while supplies last). (wnky.com)
