The 2023 Montana Legislative session (the most recent session) saw an onslaught of attacks on the 2S-LGBTQIA+ community. From banning gender-affirming care to targeting drag performances, during the 2023 session many legislators tried to effectively penalize the experience of being 2S-LGBTQIA+. The ACLU of Montana is committed to protecting the rights of queer and trans people in all aspects of life and is prepared to challenge any legislation singling out queer Montanans for  discriminatory treatment.

We're tracking the following 2025 legislation that could impact 2S-LGBTQIA+ rights:
