Idaho Republican legislators have introduced a resolution urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 decision that established marriage equality nationwide, reports The Advocate.

It also calls for a return to the so-called “natural definition” of marriage as between one man and one woman, a concept supporters insist is rooted in tradition.
The non-binding resolution, spearheaded by the State Affairs Committee, asserts that states and not federal courts should decide marriage laws.
