But contrary to popular opinion, the gay presence in Idaho existed long before even the Boys of Boise episode.
Because of this, both residents and visitors will have no problem being accepted by the community in Idaho, or finding things to do in terms of gay bars, nightlife, or gay clubs.
Generations of Idaho citizens have been gay, with both men and women living in working in Idaho as open gays.
These men and women built a foundation for a strong future presence in Idaho, as they contributed to the economy, the nightlife, the culture, and to the overall success of the State.

This makes finding things to do in terms of gay nightlife, gay clubs, or gay bars that much easier.
The gay community has been growing in visibility and in participation of gay events with every passing year.
When you are in Idaho, you will never feel alone.
