Timeline

2017

LeFavour's partner more than a decade, Carol Growhoski, was in the later years of LeFavour's service in the legislature invited to participate in the "Legisladies," a social organization of female legislative spouses. (They had married in Idaho's Custer County in July 2017, and had previously been civil unioned in Vermont in 2006). LeFavour was the first ever openly gay member of the Idaho Legislature; her election campaigns have won the backing of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund. More recently she has made a personal "It Gets Better" video, in which she noted "When I first walked into this building [the Idaho Statehouse] fifteen years ago to talk to lawmakers about what it was like to be a gay person in Idaho, many didn't think they had ever met anyone gay; sadly, some were cruel... Today, I serve in the Senate next to some of the same people and some have changed... Together, with time, you and I and this world we live in, will work together to make sure it gets better." She is featured in the documentaries Breaking Through (2013) and Add the Words (2014).

2014

After her service as a public representative, LeFavour has remained active in LGBT affairs. She was one of 44 activists arrested on February 3, 2014 at the Statehouse on suspicion of misdemeanor trespassing, having blocked the Idaho Senate's entrances for more than two hours in a silent protest two months in the planning on behalf of the Add The Words campaign, an act of civil disobedience which she had organized. Three of those arrested were juveniles, and LeFavour herself was, unexpectedly, the last person to be arrested after the Idaho Senate voted to suspend its rule which allows former members to be on the Senate floor.

By the end of February, following other protests, 122 arrests had been conducted (with some protestors being arrested for than once, and all of whom are being represented pro bono), and negotiations between LGBT-rights advocates and religiously conservative legislators had tentatively begun. By early March, LeFavour had been arrested four times in five weeks, and in mid-March, was discovered in an act of political theater during a direct action protest after having literally hid in a closet in the Idaho Senate lounge for hours. Ultimately LeFavour has been arrested ten times; at a court hearing in late July 2014 she took a plea deal and was sentenced to seventy hours of community service and fined $70 in court costs.

2013

In April 2013 she was denied unemployment benefits, inasmuch as elected officials are not eligible.

2012

In February 2012, LeFavour announced that she would not be seeking re-election to the state legislature, but announced her candidacy for the United States Congress in Idaho's 2nd District the following month. She challenged seven-term Republican U.S. Congressman Mike Simpson, whom she debated twice and criticized as being only superficially moderate, citing his vote against discrimination protections for women in the workplace. Had she been elected, she would have been the second openly lesbian member of the U.S. Congress, but polled 34.8% of the vote. This was in and of itself the strongest showing of any Democratic candidate against Mike Simpson as an incumbent: Craig Williams got 25.9% of the vote in 2000, Edward Kinghorn 29.0% in 2002, Lin Witworth 29.3% in 2004, Jim D. Hansen 34.43% in 2006, Deborah Holmes 31% in 2008, and Mike Crawford 24.4% in 2010. She noted after the election on her campaign's Facebook page that she had received the most votes in eastern Idaho of any Democrat who had run against Simpson as an incumbent, and that "...last but not least, we've put to rest the question of whether Idahoans will actually vote for a gay person."
