Ruthie: Traditional Marriage Ideal
The demise of the Defense of Marriage Act doesn't change Ruthie Johnson's view of same-sex marriage. "I don't care what anyone does in the privacy of their own bedroom. I just don't know why they have to brag about it," said Johnson, when asked for her reaction to Wednesday's Supreme Court ruling. "I still believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. That's the only way that we can procreate." The 1996 law overturned by the Supreme Court denied federal benefits to same-sex couples married under state laws. Johnson, a Hayden Lake resident and a commissioner on the Idaho Human Rights Commission, told The Press she doesn't think the justices' decision will make much of a difference in Idaho. Same-sex marriages are banned under the state's constitution/Maureen Dolan, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here. (SR file photo of Ruthie Johnson in August 2011)
