Trans Group Slams Montana Law as Unconstitutional!

The Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund (TLDEF) is urging Montana lawmakers to vote down a bill that would not only repeal a Missoula LGBT-inclusive employment protections law but would forbid Montana cities from enacting similar ordinances in the future, Details at Care2.com.


The legislation, authored by Republican Representative Kristin Hansen, cleared the House last month by a 60-39 vote and won a Senate committee's approval last Friday, meaning that it could be up for a full Senate vote within the next few days.

However, equality proponents have expressed serious concerns over both the legislation's aims and constitutionality with the TLDEF letter, that is addressed to Senate lawmakers and dated March 21, saying that the bill is entirely anti-LGBT in nature.
