BOISE, Idaho – The Idaho Legislative session wrapped-up on Thursday. The session focused on limiting young people’s access to books and discouraging LGBTQ+ identity.
A landmark policy signed by Governor Brad Little (R) on Tuesday took a firm stance against non-binary identity.
“In human beings, there are two, and only two, sexes,” the bill text said.
The American Medical Association, American Psychological Association and United Nations all recognize non-binary identities.
Republicans in the legislature also successfully passed a bill which will limit books young people are allowed to read. It mirrors similar policies passed around the nation curbing access to LGBTQ+ and Black authors.
The bill was signed by Little on Wednesday.
Now that the state legislative session is over, policymakers can focus on the 2024 general election.
