An
Idaho Judge has overturned the state's ban on
same-*** marriage, declaring it to be unconstitutional, just days after an
Arkansas judge made a similar ruling.
"Idaho’s
Marriage Laws withhold from them a profound and personal choice, one that most can take for granted," U.S. Magistrate
Judge Candy Dale wrote in her 57-page decision,
according to the Idaho Statesman. "By doing so, Idaho’s
Marriage Laws deny
Same-*** couples the eco**mic, practical, emotional and spiritual benefits of marriage, relegating each couple to a stigmatized, second-class status."
