Idahoans fight against discrimination of GLBT rights
and against the proposed marriage amendment.

Downtown Boise drinking fountains, park benches, etc were labeled with stickers bearing the words "heterosexuals only" to mimic the old "white only" labels of yesteryear.

It really got to the old right wing farmer legislator who was backing the amendment. He defensively replied no one was trying to take away rights.

Progress is being made.

1. Here's to some people with real courage!
Maybe Idaho will join the 20th century before the rest of us finish the 21st. Good for those people, they have a hard fight ahead of them.

(BTW, the link does work.)

4. We've got much more than Boise now that's liberal
Coeur d'Alene
Moscow
Sun Valley/Ketchum
Pocatello

They are all turning far more liberal.

5. Great idea!
Of course rights are being taken away with this amendment. This proves that the great idea of those "Heterosexuals Only" signs are working.
