"Idaho Governor Flooded with Calls on Transgender Health Care Bill"

Idaho Governor Brad Little signed House Bill 71 into law, which bans gender-affirming care for transgender youth and makes it a felony for medical practitioners to help minors seek gender-affirming treatment. Little's office received more than 14,800 emails and calls in favor of the bill and more than 6,500 calls and emails asking Little to veto the bill. Conservative groups urged Idahoans to voice support for the bill, while community organizations worked on a campaign to veto it.
