WOO-HOO IOWA!!

Iowa Court Says Gay Marriage Ban is Unconstitutional

Today is a good day!

“The Iowa statute limiting civil marriage to a union between a man and a woman violates the equal protection clause of the Iowa Constitution,” the justices said in a summary of their decision.

And later in the ruling, they said: “Equal protection under the Iowa Constitution is essentially a direction that all persons similarly situated should be treated alike. Since territorial times, Iowa has given meaning to this constitutional provision, striking blows to slavery and segregation, and recognizing women’s rights. The court found the issue of same-sex marriage comes to it with the same importance as the landmark cases of the past.”

"...striking blows to slavery and segregation, and recognizing women's rights.  The court found the issue of same-sex marriage comes to it with the same importance as the landmark cases of the past." So simple, and so true.

Corn-fed IOWA gets that gay marriage is a social justice and civil rights issue. Smugly liberal California should continue to be ashamed.

C'mon California: repeal the shameful Prop 8.
