The Northwoods Is No Place For A Pink Flamingo
What is a Family?
From Idaho:
A same-sex couple and their three foster children were denied a reduced admission price to a pool in eastern Idaho because the Lava Hot Springs State Foundation says the five don’t fit the definition of a family.
Amber Koger and Jeri Underwood say they and their three children were recently denied the resort’s advertised family admission price.
Mark Lowe, executive director for the Lava Hot Springs State Foundation, says the state doesn’t recognize gay or lesbian marriage and defines a family as one male, one female and children.
He says as a state agency the foundation must follow Idaho law.
Not surprising and actually this would appear to be fairly common. I would like to know if Idaho also denies family rates to single mothers (or dad’s) or grandparents raising children, or parents without marriage licenses (common law marriages) etc. Smells like some bullshit here, they have a lot of buffalo in Idaho don’t they?
