Allow Navy Vet Madelynn Taylor to be buried with her late wife in Idaho Veterans Cemetery. Attention Gov. Butch Otter!

Created by K.A. on April 28, 2014

Navy vet Ms. Madelynn Taylor served 1950-1960 & was honorably discharged after a fellow vet suspected she was gay. She went on to live a great life & met & married her wife Jean in 1995 & legally again in 2008. Gov. Butch Otter has advised the Idaho Vet cemetery to not allow Madelynn to be buried with her beloved late wife Jeans ashes. They will only need one plot & it is discriminatory toward someone who fought for our freedom regardless of her personal choices. Please consider to let her wife be buried with her seeing as they're marriage is legal in CA. Thank you!
