Iowa Supreme Court unanimously overturns ban on gay marriage

Hey, it looks like more of America is finally moving forward.

 

There goes Keokuk's chances of hosting the next UFC Supermatch.

You're right and I was just being silly.

The NE is considered liberal elite territory, but Iowa? I'm not so naive to think every state will adopt this, but in 10-15 years I'd be surprised if there's not at least twice as many states offering the same thing.

"Iowa: We're not as square as nearby states."

 

Yay Iowa!

 

Thank you.

 

Sadly, of course, this isn't the end of it.

In other words, they're going to try to pass a state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, which would nullify the court's ruling, much like in California.

Hmmm. Let's see. What else is going on politically in 2012?

 

I would like to tell this guy, as a registered Republican, I've seen a lot of these one-man-one-woman couples in this state who should not be allowed to breed. We would do better if they move to another state.

 

There are, shockingly to most of us outsiders, a pretty high amount of socially liberal churches in Iowa. If they're smart, they'll open it up immediately and start paying some bills.

 

Good job, Liberal Activist Judges!

 

Good to hear, Iowa!

 

Good job Iowa!

 

I don't think it is tied to Obama's re-election. The paper is pointing out that because any proposed amendment needs to pass in two consecutive sessions and then be put up for a vote, 2012 is the earliest it can happen. Nice try tho.
