The Add the Words, Idaho campaign has invited the public to compete in a new art competition.
Add the Words, Idaho is a statewide all-volunteer initiative that aims to add the words "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" to the Idaho Human Rights Act. Currently, Idahoans can be fired from their jobs for being gay or transgender. The goal of this campaign is to demonstrate public support for the inclusion of gay and transgender folks in the state's fair employment, housing and education laws.
