These Idaho legislators tolerate discrimination
Documenting every current Idaho legislator’s position on Add The Words
Add The Words is about equal rights and protections for all Idahoans, regardless of their ‘sexual orientation’ or ‘gender identity’. People have been working to add these four words to the Idaho Human Rights Act for 14 years, and they’ve been repeatedly blocked by legislators. It’s incredibly demoralizing.
This pisses me off, I’m fed up, and I want to make it as clear as possible who tolerates discrimination and who doesn’t. I blogged recently about this. Below is my research.
In this post, I consider legislators guilty until proven innocent — if they haven’t taken a public stand for equal rights and protections, then they’re tolerating discrimination. Whenever possible, I’ve hyperlinked the source materials that’ve convinced me of legislators’ views.
I encourage any legislators that want to clarify their positions to comment on this post or send me an email at cam@camcrow.com.
