  3. Montana House speaker silences trans lawmaker for 2nd day

    A transgender Montana lawmaker was #silenced for a second day Friday as her Republican colleagues *refused to let her speak on the chamber’s floor* until she #apologizes for saying lawmakers would have “blood on their hands" if they passed a law to #ban #gender-#affirming medical #care for transgender youth.

    The standoff is expected to continue next week, with neither side ready to back down.

    The bill at the heart of the issue is in the hands of Republican Gov. Greg #BodySlamGuy Gianforte, who has indicated he will sign it.
