Rep. Paul Shepherd,

We are requesting that you join LGBT community member Chelsea Gaona Lincoln in a town-hall

style forum to discuss the issue of being gay, lesbian, bisexual, and/or transgender in Idaho. We

realize you have some very strong opinions regarding the LGBT community, and it would be

helpful to us if we could more fully understand those opinions. We also think a forum may help

alleviate some of your fears of the LGBT community.

Please join Ms. Lincoln. We believe it will benefit everybody involved.

R.S.V.P. at info@betteridaho.org. Better Idaho will schedule the forum to accommodate your

earliest convenience.

Respectfully,

3/26/2015
