Four to Trial for Defending Trans Rights | Boise News

Four protesters arrested for staging a sit-in at Idaho’s Capitol to oppose anti-LGBTQ+ laws are heading to trial, determined to stand up for transgender rights despite personal risk. Among them, Reverend Sarah LaWall and Dustin Miller — both parents of transgender daughters — see the legislation as deeply harmful and feel their actions were necessary when traditional avenues failed. They’re challenging laws that criminalize bathroom use based on birth sex and ban Pride flags, even though jail time for trespassing is less than penalties for violating those bills. Their trial isn’t just about justice — it’s a defiant message: transgender people belong, they’re worthy, and they’re not alone.
