Idaho House Republicans call for traditional family values month celebration
The Idaho House of Representatives voted along party lines Thursday to pass a nonbinding resolution that supports the designation of a new traditional family values month in Idaho.
Rep. Joe Alfieri, R-Coeur d’Alene, sponsored House Concurrent Resolution 35, which would designate the period from Mother’s Day through Father’s Day in Idaho as traditional family values month. Each week of the month would feature celebrations of different units of what Alfieri described as a traditional family, including sons, brothers, uncles, sisters, daughters, aunts, “the natural female mother and male father.”
In Idaho, resolutions do not carry the force of law. Under the Idaho Legislature’s Joint Rule 2, resolutions “denote the adoption of a motion, the subject matter of which would not properly constitute a statute,” such as a vote of thanks or an alteration of a rule.
