The poll, by Utah pollster Dan Jones & Associates, queried 520 Idaho adults in late December and has a 4.3 percent margin of error. It found that 67 percent thought such discrimination should be illegal, while 27 percent didn’t and 6 percent didn’t know.

The poll findings come as Idaho’s legislative session opens with strong hints from legislative leaders that a full hearing on the “Add the Words” bill – legislation to add the words “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to the Idaho Human Rights Act – will be held this year. The bill has been proposed for each of the past nine years but has never been allowed a full hearing. During last year’s session, more than 100 people were arrested in protests demanding that the bill be heard.

It also found that 64 percent of Idaho Mormons who said they were “very active” in their church supported making such discrimination illegal. Idaho Mormons who said they were “not active” in their church were 80 percent in favor; Catholics, 71 percent; Protestants, 57 percent; members of other religious denominations, 73 percent; and respondents not affiliated with any religion, 75 percent.

Or will it be the tenth year that the bill doesn’t get a hearing by the Republican controlled legislature.
