Montana GOP's Expulsion of Trans Lawmaker Sparks Controversy.

The Montana GOP's attacks on perceived cultural enemies, including Indigenous and LGBTQ+ communities, have intensified during this year's legislative session, culminating in the expulsion of the state's first transgender lawmaker, Rep. Zooey Zephyr. The move followed a pitched battle over a bill that would bar gender-affirming medical care for Montana youth. Policy director for the ACLU's Montana office, Keegan Medrano, believes the Republican Party's actions may expand the movement it has sought to control, with a real movement being started to push back and respond.
