House Joint Memorial No. 1 expresses the Idaho Legislature's formal rejection of the Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The memorial argues that the ruling contradicts the U.S. Constitution and the foundational principles of individual liberty, asserting that the definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman has been a longstanding tradition. It contends that the decision undermines the rights of states to regulate marriage and infringes upon the civil liberties of voters who oppose same-sex marriage.

The memorial calls on the Supreme Court to reverse the Obergefell decision and restore the traditional definition of marriage, emphasizing that marriage laws should be determined by individual states and their citizens rather than by judicial rulings. It concludes with a directive for the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives to send a copy of the memorial to the Supreme Court, reinforcing Idaho's stance on the matter.
