Rihanna Kelver, 27, approached a Wyoming Highway Patrol officer stationed at a desk near the restroom and announced an intention to use the restroom.

“OK,” the officer scowled.

What followed is a new, radical form of protest that is occurring all over the nation.

>Kelver then entered the women’s restroom next to Gov. Mark Gordon’s office in the Wyoming State Capitol at 12:30 p.m.

>Before entering the Capitol, Kelver told a small group of seven supporters that there was a chance of an arrest. Wyoming’s new “bathroom bill” went into effect Tuesday. In Florida where there’s a similar law, a transgender woman was arrested after attempting to violate that state’s bathroom bill.

>“I don’t know what’s going to happen,” Kelver said. As of June 28, Kelver was bracing and hoping for criminal charges, writing in a Facebook post that this would open the door for direct legal challenge of the law.
