In Wyoming, a state already known for its conservative politics, the newly elected legislature has taken a significant shift to the right. With a Republican supermajority in both the House and the Senate, the legislature has passed a number of conservative measures, including a ban on transgender athletes in school sports, a law that protects businesses that refuse service to LGBTQ people, and a bill that restricts access to abortion. These measures have drawn criticism from Democrats and LGBTQ advocates, who say they discriminate against marginalized groups. However, supporters of the measures say they are necessary to protect Wyoming’s traditional values.
