We are so ready to celebrate all things Pride in Idaho, but were curious how many trans friends, family, and neighbors we have here in the Gem State. Since going door-to-door and asking every single person would be 1) Very weird, and 2) Massively inappropriate, we’re not going to do that! Also, that sounds like a lot of work. We left the heavy lifting to the professionals.
Now, to be completely clear, these numbers represent how many people openly identify as transgender. That being said, the numbers from the Williams Institute are pretty eye-opening!

Now that you know, let’s all get ready for Pride Month with a handy little guide on how you can be a better friend, neighbor, and ally!
