Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Montana Governor Signs Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Transgender Minors

HeadlineMay 01, 2023

Montana’s Republican Governor Greg Gianforte signed a law Friday banning gender-affirming care for transgender minors, making Montana at least the 15th state to ban or restrict such care. The governor enacted the law despite his own son, who is nonbinary, lobbying him to block it. The ACLU of Montana vowed to sue, as transgender and nonbinary Montanans rallied Friday, joined by transgender state Representative Zooey Zephyr, who has been barred from the House floor for condemning the measure. Click here to see our interview with Representative Zephyr, as well as Tennessee Representative Justin Jones.
