Transgender Visibility and Advocacy Across the US

Hundreds of people gathered at the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial in Boise to celebrate International Transgender Day of Visibility and advocate for LGBTQ rights. The event also served as a rally against House Bill 71, which would outlaw gender affirming care for minors. Many in the transgender community fear they may have to leave the state if the bill becomes law. The bill is currently on Governor Brad Little's desk and he has five days to sign it into law, veto it, or allow it to become law without approval.
