Hate crime in Idaho but can't be prosecuted as such
http://www.ktvb.com/mb/news/crime/sheriff-nampa-man-killed-after-robbery-was-meeting-one-of-the-suspects-for-sex/162241515A friend and co-worker of mine was killed in Nampa Friday. Because Idaho does not protect lgbt rights, his killers will not be prosecuted of a hate crime. Steven left us at work to work for the governor due to his ties with the democratic party (he fundraised for hillary last election). He was in essence being used by Butch to gain favor for his education bill to leave his legacy. But the state government he worked for doesn't even protect his rights even after his death.
You were a wonderful sweet caring intelligent man Steven and you will be missed.

backasswardness!!
I am more ashamed of my ties to that state every day and I left over a decade ago!! I love my progressive friends who tough it out there but geeze... this is stellar, unabashed shit-headedness.
And screw Clem too. What an asshole.
I've been here almost 2 years now and have come to truly despise certain members of gov't. Elections just a few days away now. Get out and vote, people!
