October 8, 2014 – BOISE, Idaho –
Democratic gubernatorial candidate A.J. Balukoff today responded to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that Idaho’s ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, saying, “As many of us had anticipated, this issue will be decided by the courts.”
“This ruling recognizes that, in America, we do not have the right to impose our beliefs and practices on other people, and that discrimination is wrong,” Balukoff said. “We must treat all people equally, with kindness and respect. I’m proud of the courage shown by these people who challenged a law that violates the United States Constitution.”
