A Montana lawmaker who sponsored the state's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth is facing fierce criticism over a comment she made on the House floor in March.
Republican state Rep. Kerri Seekins-Crowe suggested during a floor debate that she would rather her daughter die by suicide than allow her to transition. Though Seekins-Crowe did not identify her daughter as transgender, she said that she was "one of those parents who lived with a daughter who was suicidal for three years."
