HELENA, Mont. (AP) — When debate over a gender-affirming care ban escalated into a lengthy fight over civil discourse in statehouses, it vaulted Montana Rep. Zooey Zephyr into the national spotlight. Zephyr was disciplined Wednesday for participating in a statehouse protest after Republicans limited her participation in debates after she rebuked supporters of a proposed ban on gender-affirming care for children. She will no longer be allowed on the House floor, but can vote on bills remotely, starting Thursday. She told The Associated Press that she ‘s confident her punishment has only amplified her message. Republican lawmakers said she encouraged the protest Monday that disrupted House business and broke decorum.
