"The demonstrators occupied the men's bathroom for around two hours, chanting to highlight the potential enforcement of House Bill 752 when it takes effect on July 1."
"House Bill 752 makes it a crime to enter facilities that do not match a person's sex assigned at birth, with penalties including jail time for violations."
"The police detained the group, citing disruption rather than bathroom use itself, as the protest became too loud for the working Capitol building."
Six protesters were arrested in the Idaho State Capitol after staging a sit-in in a men's bathroom to protest House Bill 752, which restricts bathroom access based on sex assigned at birth. The demonstration lasted about two hours, with police citing disruption as the reason for the arrests. This protest followed another sit-in earlier in the week, where nine protesters were arrested for trespassing while demanding a meeting regarding the same legislation. House Bill 752 will take effect on July 1, imposing criminal penalties for violations.
