The Satanic Temple plans to oppose a proposed Idaho bill that would prohibit sex-change surgery and drugs for minors by holding a ritual at the state Capitol.
The Baphomet statue is seen in the conversion room at the Satanic Temple where a "Hell House" is being held in Salem, Massachusetts, on Oct. 8, 2019.
The Boise chapter of The Satanic Temple, which calls itself"Satanic Idaho," is pushing back against the proposed legislation by staging a"Hail Yourself: Gender Affirmation Ritual" on Feb. 13 to"remind [Idahoans] that not everyone uses religion to condemn, but to accept," according to an advertisement on social media.
After citing The Satanic Temple's tenet that"my body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone," participants must then"write your incorrect name, pronouns, other false identifiers on one sheet of paper," which must then be destroyed. Idaho is one of 26 states that have introduced legislation barring transgender procedures for minors.
The Satanic Temple sued in the U.S. District Court of the District of Idaho and in Indiana in September, challenging the trigger law that prohibits almost all abortions and the civil enforcement law that permits family members to sue abortionThe Satanic Temple's statue of Baphomet was based on a drawing by occultist Éliphas Lévi, pictured above at a museum in Germany.
