2024 MT Governor's race: on Civil Rights


Tanner Smith: Supported bill prohibiting minors at drag shows

Republican lawmakers repeatedly described drag as inappropriate for children, comparing the performance with stripping and referencing adult drag shows they had heard of or personally attended decades ago. "It was adults doing adult things. And that's great," said Rep. Tanner Smith, R-Lakeside, referencing a drag performance he said he attended 30 years ago. "We're just asking, just leave the kids out of it."

Ryan Busse: It's not my business who loves whom, or how people identify

[On LGBT rights]: "This has to be a live-and-let-live state," he said. " ... It's not my business who loves who, or how people identify. It's not my business and it's not the Legislature's business either. What business do they have taking people's rights away? This should be a state where people help each other, not hurt each other."
