Montana transgender lawmaker silencedWhat to know
"HELENA, Mont. (AP) — The latest high-profile example of state legislative leadership deciding who can be heard during statehouse debates is playing out in Montana where a transgender lawmaker was silenced by Republican leaders for a second day Friday.
Leaders in the western state’s Legislature are expected to continue denying Rep. Zooey Zephyr the chance to speak during proceedings on Monday. They demand she apologize for telling lawmakers they would have “blood on their hands” if they voted for a bill banning gender-affirming care. The measure has passed and is in the hands of Gov. Greg Gianforte, who has indicated he will sign it.
Montana is among a wave of states passing legislation that opponents say could exacerbate the suffering of transgender teens, who are disproportionately plagued by bullying, depression and high suicide rates. Zephyr has defended her remarks and said she doesn’t plan to apologize."
