Idaho Lawmakers Seek to Overturn Same-Sex Marriage

Idaho House Representatives voted 46-24 to advance "House Joint Memorial 1," which seeks to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court's 2015 decision in "Obergefell v. Hodges" that legalized same-sex marriage.
Representative Heather Scott presented the proposal, sparking debate, while Mistie DelliCarpini-Tolman criticized it as a waste of time and harmful to the LGBTQ community.
The memorial is not a law but aims to send a public message regarding marriage definitions, with opposition from various representatives.
Idaho lacks statewide nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ+ individuals, with advocates continuing to push for rights amid legislative resistance.
