The Helena City Commission has issued a letter of support for embattled Montana Rep. Zooey Zephyr, the transgender lawmaker ousted Wednesday by House Republicans over comments in opposition to anti-trans legislation. "As elected officials, we stand in support of Representative Zooey Zephyr and representative democracy," reads the statement sent out via email Saturday regarding the Missoula Democrat. "The Montana House of Representative's (sic) actions to bar Representative Zephyr from the House Floor, thus preventing her from actively participating in the body to which she was duly elected, has silenced 11,000 Montanans.
