“Governor Little and Idaho legislators should be ashamed of themselves. They spent the entire legislative session attacking the LGBTQ+ community rather than focusing on what Idahoans actually need. When the governor signed HB 822 today, he barred transgender youth from being honest with trusted adults in their lives.” — Mistie DelliCarpini-Tolman (she/her), Regional Political and Idaho State Director at PPAA

“The law attempts to legislate deeply personal relationships. Young trans people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Know this: we will not stand for these attacks, and won’t stop fighting until everyone is able to live their lives freely and without fear.” — Mistie DelliCarpini-Tolman (she/her), Regional Political and Idaho State Director at PPAA

Transgender youth deserve to seek help and feel seen without having their conversations and bodies policed.

We won’t stop fighting until everyone is able to live their lives freely and without fear.

Governor Little just signed HB 822, which forces teachers and health care professionals to out trans youth, into law.

This is yet another harmful attack on transgender young people in Idaho, and we condemn lawmakers for it.

“Governor Little and Idaho legislators have again proven there is no stoop too low for their abusive and hateful agenda to torment transgender people. Instead of helping Idahoans, our elected leaders have passed yet another harmful law. Simply put, HB 752 makes it a crime to be trans in public, punishable by prison time. While purporting to be about safety, the law in fact will make public restrooms more dangerous for everyone. Know this: we will not stand for these attacks, and won’t stop fighting until everyone is able to live their lives freely and without fear.”

Despite widespread public opposition, Governor Little chose to sign the most extreme anti-transgender bathroom ban in the nation into law—on Transgender Day of Visibility.

Let's call this what it is: a law attempting to criminalize trans people simply for existing in public spaces.

This legislative session, despite fierce opposition from supporters across the state, lawmakers passed a new bill, adding a way for the state to enforce the flag ban with huge daily fines. That bill was just signed into law.

Last year, after the legislature passed a law restricting the flags local governments can fly, Boise designated the Pride flag as an official city flag. That meant the flag would keep flying outside City Hall.

“Quite simply, we are furious. This bill is hateful, abusive, and goes against what Idahoans want and need from elected officials. HB 752 — which makes it a crime to be trans in public — is not about safety. This is about using the power of government to target, intimidate, and erase an already vulnerable community.” —Mistie DelliCarpini Tolman (she/her), Regional Political and Idaho State Director, Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates

Show your appreciation to Senator Guthrie for holding harmful bills like HB 557! They don't reflect Idaho's values, and he's right not to give them a hearing.

Bill Status: In Senate State Affairs Committee
Chairman Guthrie has the power to stop two harmful bills. He needs to hear from you!
HB 607 would allow people to sue businesses for $10,000 for encountering a transgender person in a restroom. 
HB 557 would strip away local nondiscrimination ordinances that 12 Idaho cities have already passed.
These bills would make our communities less safe, less welcoming, and more divided.

"I am tired of leaving the Capitol in tears. I am furious and heartbroken. And I feel like I am watching people with power knowingly choose harm, leaving the rest of us holding the panic, trauma, fallout, and grief that never ends. Still, I won’t let them silence me. I know children need more safe adults to speak to, not more reasons to stay silent. If the goal is child safety, HB 822 fails the test." —Jo Seiders, a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, small business owner, and child welfare advocate in Boise, Idaho.

Idaho’s HB 822 threatens children’s health and well-being—and yet lawmakers advanced the bill without hearing from a *single* one of the clinicians trying to keep kids safe and alive.

Legislators need to listen to the experts. It’s that simple.
