Montana's Trans Community Faces Political Backlash
TL;DR Summary
David Gianforte, the nonbinary son of Montana Governor Greg Gianforte, has urged his father to reject bills that would restrict transition care, define sex as binary, and ban minors from attending drag shows. David Gianforte argued that the bills were "a violation of human rights" and harmful to the LGBTQ+ community. The governor's office declined to comment on the meeting, but a spokesperson said that the governor "values their thoughts, ideas, and perspectives." Montana is one of many states considering new bills on transgender issues, and the debate has become personal even within the Gianforte family.
