Protesters demand silenced transgender lawmaker be heard in Montana capitol.

Riot police arrested protesters at the Montana state capitol who were supporting Zooey Zephyr, a transgender Democratic state representative who has been barred from speaking on the floor since she criticised a GOP bill that would ban gender-affirming medical care for minors. At least five protesters were arrested, and supporters turned in a petition with thousands of signatures to the office of Montana House Speaker Matt Regier to let the Democrat participate in debate once again.
