Transgender Rights and Representation Under Attack in Montana Statehouse

Montana Governor Greg Gianforte shared his thoughts on the Montana Legislature's efforts to censure a transgender representative and how pending transgender legislation impacts his own family. Gianforte's son, David, had lobbied against Senate Bill 99, Senate Bill 458, and House Bill 359, which affect transgender Montanans and the LGBTQ community. Gianforte expressed his unconditional love for his son but also stated his disagreement with the transgender lawmaker Zooey Zephyr's behavior during discussions. Gianforte emphasized the need to focus on passing a budget, funding mental health, rebuilding prisons, and lowering taxes.
