A victory in the heartland!

The Iowa Supreme Court this morning unanimously upheld gays’ right to marry.

“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.

The court rules that gay marriage would be legal in three weeks, starting April 24.

The court affirmed a Polk County District Court decision that would allow six gay couples to marry.
Meanwhile, Vermont's State House passed their bill to legalize same-sex marriage last night. Unfortunately, their Governor has announced his intention to veto the bill, but there might be enough votes to override it. Stay tuned!

I am so excited about this!! This is sooo fantastic! I'm so proud of Iowa, and I'm so happy for them. I hope Illinois is next!!!
I also hope that everything works out in Vermont. I've been following that story for about two weeks, and I would really like to see it end well. Go Vermont!!
