same-sex couples marriage licenses</h1>
<p style="margin-bottom: 21px;"><span
style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">MOSCOW,
Idaho – The six same-sex couples who married in Idaho’s
Latah County on Oct. 10 now have a fairly easy way to
ensure their marriage licenses are on the record with
both local and state government agencies.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 21px;"><span
style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In
February, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare
announced it wouldn’t recognize six marriage licenses
for same-sex couples issued by the county between the
time the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals approved them
and the time a few days later that the Idaho state
attorney general’s office got a formal order from the
9th Circuit and advised counties to begin issuing
same-sex marriage licenses.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 21px;"><span
style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Latah
County officials stood by the legality of the six
licenses they issued and have kept them on
their records.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 21px;"><span
style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Earlier,
local officials were able to get the original certified
licenses from the state for the couples as proof of
their marriages.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 21px;"><span
style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Latah
County recently wrote a follow-up letter to
the couples. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 21px;"><span
style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Prosecutor
Bill Thompson and Clerk-Auditor-Recorder Henrianne
Westberg worked out a way for the couples to get
licenses that are dated so the state will accept them
fully without the couples having to renounce their
earlier marriages.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 21px;"><span
style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“With
this new information, we understand that you now have
the option to obtain a new marriage license for purposes
of having it registered with the Idaho Bureau of Vital
Statistics without having to represent or concede that
there is any legal question about the validity of your
marriage from last October,” a letter to the couples
from the county stated.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 21px;"><span
style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“The
county has really worked to help the couples involved,”
said Tabitha Simmons, who married longtime partner Kathy
Sprague on Oct. 10. “Basically, they’ve gone above
and beyond.”</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 21px;"><span
style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“And,”
Westberg added, “those original licenses will always
be here.”</span></p>
