<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>It's a simple matter of equality AND a simple matter of inequality.<br><br>Here is the latest scorecard for our less than happy same gender couple below:<br><br>The section of the California State Constitution which was amended by prop 8 by popular vote to codify 'Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California' was struck down as violating the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. Hence, California recognizes same gender marriages as valid representing a simple matter of marriage equality (=).<br><br>The section of the Idaho State Constitution which was amended by overwhelming popular vote to read 'A marriage between a man and a woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state' has not *yet* been deemed in violation of the United States Constitution. Thus, Idaho deems all same gender marriages invalid representing a simple matter of marriage inequality (>).<br><br>Simple, ain't it?<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: thansen@moscow.com<br>Date: Sun, 30 Jun 2013 03:25:48 -0700<br>To: vision2020@moscow.com<br>CC: jeannemchale@hotmail.com; fritzknorr@gmail.com<br>Subject: [Vision2020] A simple matter of . . .<br><br><div>. . .
