While the Idaho resolution doesn't carry any legal force, it's a signal that Republicans who want Obergefell v Hodges — the case that instituted blanket nationwide protections for same-sex marriage — undone are feeling emboldened under the second Trump administration.
Meanwhile, an attorney for former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, who famously refused to grant marriage licenses to same sex couples in Kentucky after the high court decision, is still in court arguing rulings against Davis run afoul of religious freedom and the First Amendment.
Should federal protections disappear, same-sex marriage would automatically become illegal again in Kentucky.
Beshear said this week, marriage equality remains the law of the land.
"And unless, the Supreme Court would undo that decision, this has been decided," he said. "These are our fellow families that are out there. We all ought to find ways to to better understand and care for each other. We ought to find ways every day to lessen discrimination that's out there."
Davis' attorney has argued the same sex ruling is "on the same shifting sand" that led to the reversal of Roe v Wade, putting long-protected abortion rights back in the hands of state lawmakers.
