Trans people are brave. Imagine standing in your truth knowing some will question you, mock you, or try to erase you—and choosing to live openly anyway.

While critics hide behind fake profiles and quiet cruelty, trans people live visible, honest, and real. That isn’t weakness. That’s courage. That’s strength. And that kind of truth moves the world forward. 🏳️‍⚧️

BOISE, IDAHO | The Idaho House has again passed a measure urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn its 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage—but this year the effort actually lost support.

House Joint Memorial 17 passed March 10 in a 44–26 vote, asking the Court to revisit marriage equality. Yet the measure drew fewer Republican votes than a nearly identical memorial that passed in 2025.

The effort traces back to the Supreme Court’s landmark Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015. In response, many conservative states, including Idaho, maintained constitutional bans on same-sex marriage that remain unenforceable under that ruling.

In 2025, Idaho lawmakers passed House Joint Memorial 1, the state’s first formal request urging the Supreme Court to reconsider the decision. The memorial carried strong Republican support at the time.

But when lawmakers tried again this year, the coalition behind it had shrunk.

This time, 17 Republican lawmakers joined a unified Democratic caucus to oppose it, signaling growing resistance within the GOP to revisiting the issue.

Three Republicans who supported the similar measure last year, Dori Healey, Mike Pohanka, and Grayson Stone, voted no this time.

Stone, who is serving as a long-term substitute for Representative Don Hall, said his decision came down to how religion is applied in politics.

“At the risk of probably committing political suicide… this entire argument is rooted in the Bible,” Stone said, noting that other biblical instructions — including how to shave — are rarely applied today. “I just don’t understand why we have to apply the Bible to specific aspects of our life, but not all of it.”

Pohanka said his personal beliefs hadn’t changed since last year’s vote, but that representing all of his constituents mattered.

“I thought we advanced this last year,” he said. “This year, to me, it’s just going to cause hurt and pain and I don’t want to do that.”

The memorial passed—but compared with last year, more Idaho Republicans sided with Democrats in rejecting the push to overturn marriage equality.
