Gay Marriage Legal (Again) In Iowa
by SAB on Apr.06, 2009, under News
I’ve heard a lot of people telling me how happy they are that “I got the right to get married” when the State Supreme Court here ruled that denying gay people the right to marry was unconstitutional. I maintain that I have always had the right to marry whoever I want, male or female. It is my fundamental right as a human being to choose who I want to love. Now the state of Iowa recognizes it. Good.
Don’t let this latest move convince you that Iowa is a progressive state full of forward thinking open minded people. There are plenty of social conservatives here that find the idea abominable, I overhears several just while I was shopping the other day.
The social conservatives are losing, and that’s a good thing. But we can’t get comfortable with the status quo, we have to keep soldiering on or we could very well end up with our very own Prop 8.
