IDAHO: Otter Vows To Keep Fighting

Via the Huffington Post:

Idaho Gov. Butch Otter (R) vowed Thursday to keep fighting a U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing same-sex marriage in his state, even as that effort costs Idaho tens of thousands of dollars. "I'm not ready to surrender to a few folks in black robes," Otter said during a gubernatorial debate. "I'm not ready to surrender the will of the people in the state of Idaho, as they expressed in 2006 in an overwhelming majority." A.J. Balukoff, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, said Otter was fighting "a losing battle." "At this point, the ship has sailed," Balukoff said. "You're not going to win that battle in federal court. You might as well start arguing about interracial marriage."

Otter did say that if a bill to protect LGBT residents against housing and employment discrimination were to pass, he would sign it.
