Trans lawmaker supporters arrested and silenced during protests.

Police arrested seven protesters who were chanting "Let her speak" in support of a transgender legislator who was blocked from speaking in the Montana House of Representatives. Republican Speaker of the House Matt Regier has refused to acknowledge Rep. Zooey Zephyr, the first transgender woman elected to the statehouse, since she told supporters of a bill to ban gender-affirming care for minors to "see the blood on their hands." The protesters were forcibly removed from the gallery, and Republican leaders called the events a "riot by far-left agitators."
