Zooey Zephyr, Montana's first lawmaker, was banned from the House floor for speaking out against a bill that bans -affirming care for minors.
The group backed Zephyr's statements about forcing trans children to go through puberty, adding that the consequences of doing so would result in higher rates of depression and suicide among trans youth.and the religious right that Christians will stand up for our neighbors and for democracy, no matter what," the statement continued.
Faithful America said in its petition that every Montana politician who voted in favor of the bill has"blood on their hands" and accused the"far-right" of continuing to push for"needless" restrictions in"Jesus's holy name." "As Christians, we stand in solidarity with the trans community and with Rep. Zooey Zephyr, who was wrongly punished for speaking the truth about the damage done by anti-trans laws. From Montana to Tennessee, we oppose any and all attempts to weaponize government and twist legislative rules to silence, punish, or expel members of marginalized communities and their allies for speaking truth to power," the petition read.
Meanwhile, Zephyr launched her reelection bid for 2025, tweeting on Friday that"throughout my first term, I have worked tirelessly to defend our health care, our housing, our human rights, and democracy itself. And I'm ready to get back to the Montana State House of Representatives in 2025."
