More than 100 “Add the Words” protesters, covering their mouths with their hands and carrying photocopied pictures of Ryan Zicha, a young gay Pocatello man who committed suicide in 2011 after being bullied at school, filed solemnly in two rows through the lower level of the state Capitol this afternoon. The protesters said they wanted lawmakers to see them; they paused and stood silently outside the hearing rooms where Senate committees are meeting this afternoon, before filing back through to the House side/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise.
