Montana has enacted a law to make it illegal to mention gender identity or sexual orientation in schools without parental consent.
Last Friday (May 7) Gov. Greg Gianforte signed Senate bill 99 in support of its anti-trans conduct. The bill in question allows a parent or guardian to remove a child from “human sexuality instruction”.
The bill states school districts are now required to notify a parent or guardian if any events or courses on human sexuality will be taking place. This allows the parent or guardian the right to “withdraw the child from a course of instruction, a class period, an assembly, an organized school function regarding human sexuality”.
West Virginia Senate Passes Anti-Trans Athlete Bill
WEST VIRGINIA Today, the West Virginia State Senate passed HB 3293, an anti-transgender bill that would ban transgender girls and women from participating in sports at the elementary, secondary, or post-secondary level consistent with their gender identity. The bill now heads back to the House for concurrence on the Senate version.
West Virginia is one of 30 states that has introduced a slate of discriminatory, anti-LGBTQ legislation this session, part of a fast and furious effort led by national groups aiming to stymie LGBTQ progress made on the national level and in many states. There are so far more than 200 anti-LGBTQ bills under consideration in state legislatures across the country. Of those, 105 directly target transgender people and about half of those (56 bills) would, like HB 3293, ban transgender girls and women from participating in sports consistent with their gender identity.
