Republicans in the Montana House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to censure Representative Zooey Zephyr, a Democratic, transgender lawmaker who has been denied the right to debate for over a week after speaking out against a proposed ban on gender-affirming medical care.
The vote means that Rep Zephyr, who represents the city of Missoula, will be barred from speaking during floor sessions or participating in person in House business for the rest of the 2023 session.
