Positions
In April 2023, Thierry voted in favor of HB 900, to ban books from public schools deemed ‘sexually explicit’. The bill was heavily criticized by LGBT advocates for including books containing reference to LGBT topics in its definition of sexually explicit.[4][5]
In May of that year, Thierry broke ranks with her party to vote in favor of a bill to ban gender affirming care for trans minors.[6][7][8]
She has also voted in favor of bans on trans women from women’s sports.[9]
