No Discount: Gay Family Told "You're Not A Real Family" At Idaho Water Park

A lesbian couple and their three foster children were denied the family discount at an Idaho water park after employees told them that they weren't entitled to one because the state doesn't consider them a real family.
A local hot pool is getting even hotter after a family was denied a reduced admission price for families because the parents were both women. Lava Hot Springs, the popular tourist attraction, is where the lesbian couple with their three foster kids were denied the advertised family price because they don't fit the definition of a family, under Idaho Law. The Lava Foundation's Executive Director, Mark Lowe, said the state doesn't recognize gay or lesbian marriage and defines a family as one male, one female and children. On the other hand, the American Civil Liberties Union in Boise said State Code defines marriage, but has no universal definition of a family.
The head fuckweasel of the attraction said they may just eliminate family discounts entirely. That way, they won't have to deal with the ACLU and they get to further demonize gay families in Idaho. Win-win.
