The lovely state of Montana isn’t normally featured very prominently within the information (or in my cartoons, for that matter). Unfortunately, it ought to be getting rather more consideration now given the outrageous, anti-democratic strikes of the Republican-controlled legislature.
Montana is without doubt one of the newest states to cross anti-transgender laws, but it surely doesn’t cease there. As the House was debating SB 99, which might ban gender-affirming take care of minors, state Rep. Zooey Zephyr gave a shifting and pointed speech opposing the invoice.
As she criticized Republicans who supported the laws, Montana’s first transgender lawmaker mentioned, “I hope the next time there’s an invocation, when you bow your heads in prayer, you see the blood on your hands.”
The brief model of what adopted is that Zephyr was silenced and banned from the House flooring.
I can’t determine whether or not these Republicans are extraordinarily thin-skinned or autocratic . . . likelihood is, they’re each.
