| Montana State Representative Zoey Zephyr (D) and Representative Sherry Essman (R) both rose as mothers to speak against this draconian anti-LGBT bill |
State Representative Zoey Zephyr's speech against an anti-LGBT bill was so powerful that republicans overwhelmingly voted against it! HB675 stated intent was to criminalize drag shows, but it was much more far-reaching.
Yes, this is the same Zooey Zephyr who was silenced last session by the republican dominated legislature for dramaticaly standing up for transgender children!
"I'm a proud mother," wrote Rep.Zephyr. "Whether I'm walking my son to school or reading him a bedtime story, I do everything to make sure he grows up loved and cared for."
"And for the sponsor of the drag ban to say that my existence is a fetish is false and cruel."
"I'm glad we were able to defeat this hateful bill today."
"I'm also really grateful for my friend and colleague, Representative Sherry Essman (R - Billings), who stood up and said it's time to "stop these crazy bills."
"May her courage be contagious, and may it lead to more Republicans standing up against these bills," Zephyr wrote.
