Freedom To Marry notes that in the Idaho case, the “plaintiffs all hail from Boise, Idaho, and three of them are raising children.”

They include: Sue Latta and Traci Ehlers, a professional artist and adjunct professor at Boise State University who are already legally married; Andrea Altmayer and Sheila Robertson, who want to marry in Idaho to ensure that their family, including their son, is recognized in the state; Lori and Sharene Watsen, who are legally married in New York; and Amber Beierle and Rachael Robertson, who previously served a tour of duty in Iraq as a member of the Idaho Army National Guard.

In the Nevada case, there are eight couples, all from Reno, Las Vegas, or Carson City, fighting for the freedom to marry. Lambda Legal has an overview of the case and the couples.
