Keepin' The Water Gay-Free


Gay Families, Not Families

A lesbian couple and their 3 children showed up to the Lava Hot Springs Swim Park located in Idaho looking to have a fun family day together, but they soon found out they were not welcome there. The couple and their children were denied the parks special family admission rate.

The executive director for the hot springs said:

“the state doesn't recognize gay or lesbian marriage and defines a family as one male, one female and children.”

In fact however the Idaho state code says nothing about what defines a family. You can contact the park here.

Update: A quick visit to the park’s website shows a link in the top left corner stating the “Family Pass Policy.”
