The Idaho Legislature’s first initiative of the year blasts same-sex marriage, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to let states once again regulate the relationship.

Reps. Todd Achilles (D-Boise) and Brooke Green (D-Boise) said they supported the resolution’s introduction in the hopes that Republicans would support introducing their legislation in the future — a strategy that’s had mixed results over the past several years.

      Which is strangely right next door to the only state, to my knowledge, that passed gay marriage by citizen initiative rather than bills in the legislature. So it was literally citizens leading the charge.

    Democrats have never actually cared about civil rights, but the last few months have shown how eager they are to throw us under the bus just for funsies

      I know 0% about these politicians but from the way the article describes it, the Democrats support it coming up for a vote where I guess they hope it’ll be defeated and they can then vote against it. Seems unnecessarily risky, but maybe they’re hoping for their own John McCain thumbs down moment??

    The jesus freaks are so desperate to control society. They are the nastiest hypocrites. That fake book of stolen stories they claim is their ‘world view’. How sad to live your life by a book of fiction. How many children have been verbally, mentally, physically and sexually abused by a preacher, pastor, minister, priest? Way too many to count. Sickos.
