Montana Rep. Zooey Zephyr's Powerful appeal against an Anti LGBTQI Bill

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.

Photos of the Transgender Military Members That Trump Wants Erased

The Pentagon is deleting over 26,000 images and history of women and minorities, warriors that have served meritoriously in the armed forces. Absurdly, photos of the Enola Gay, a superfortress named after the pilot's mother, were removed, because her middle name.

And tragically an estimated 15,000 transgender military members have been given notice that they are to be discharged.

On January 20, draft dodging Trump rescinded Biden-era policies that cleared the way for transgender people to serve openly in the military. A week later, he instructed the Department of Defense to update its guidance on transgender military service, effectively barring transgender people from service.

The administration is now facing a federal lawsuit, and U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, signaling that she would block the ban, accused the Department of Justice of “unadulterated animus” or prejudice, hostility, and spiteful malevolent ill will toward transgender service members.

For prosperity's sake, here are some of the service members that Trump has ordered discharged. Thank you for you're service.

Trump firing Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., and replacing him with a white three-star general, is the very definition of racial prejudice.
