Good luck finding your transgendered bathrooms in Idaho! Boy, did they get sold a bill of goods if they think Idaho’s more liberal than North Carolina! From Eye on Boise:
Every downtown hotel has been booked for months, and good luck getting a dinner reservation – Boise is hosting its largest multi-day convention ever at its downtown convention center, and it’s North Carolina’s loss.
The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists was originally scheduled to hold its 2017 annual convention in Raleigh, N.C. But then North Carolina’s Legislature passed its infamous “bathroom bill,” including the requirement that people use the bathroom that matches their birth certificate, not their gender identity.
Dr. Jeffrey Engel, CSTE executive director, said the group traditionally honors its president by scheduling its annual convention in his or her home state, and the 2015 president-elect was from North Carolina. Raleigh was booked years in advance for the huge confab; contracts were signed with the Visitors and Convention Bureau and area hotels.
“Then the North Carolina legislature passed HB 2,” Engel said. “Many of our members felt that that was discriminatory, and in fact, some of the jurisdictions said ‘we’re going to boycott North Carolina,’ and would not let their employees travel to North Carolina on business unless it was an emergency.”
