"Trans Lives Matter" protesters entered the Oklahoma Capitol on Monday to protest against new bills that seek to ban gender-affirming surgery for young people.
— Nick Camper February 7, 2023 Local media reports said the protest was considered to be peaceful. Security let them into the state Capitol, which is open to the public. Senators could be seen exiting their chamber and walking through the crowd to get to the House chamber without physical or verbal altercations.
