A trans woman who appears to be the first person targeted by a recently enacted Montana law that explicitly bans drag in libraries is among a group of LGBT+ advocates suing the state to overturn the law, which includes the nation’s first outright ban on drag story hours.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs called the legislation “a Frankenstein’s monster” and a “calculated” attack on LGBT+ people that “overshoots this sinister mark” and “threatens teachers, artists, small businesses, and cultural and scientific institutions with criminal and professional sanctions.”
