Montana transgender Rep. Zooey Zephyr banned from House floor
Показать описание
Montana House Republicans voted 68 to 32 to ban Rep. Zooey Zephyr from the House floor following comments she made during a floor speech earlier this week.
Republicans objected after she said lawmakers who voted for Senate Bill 99 — a ban on gender-affirming medical procedures for transgender youth — should be ashamed and would have “blood on your hands.”
On Monday, demonstrators shouted and chanted from the gallery to protest the House Speaker's decision not to recognize Zephyr to speak on the floor.
Supporters of Zephyr say Regier was effectively “silencing” her and depriving the people she represents of a voice in the House.
The House Gallery was cleared due to the protest and seven people were arrested for refusing to leave.
