Iowa gay marriage ban ruled unconstitutional

The Iowa Supreme Court legalized gay marriage Friday in a unanimous and emphatic decision that makes Iowa the third state — and first in the nation's heartland — to allow same-sex couples to wed.

Good for Iowa!!! People in love should be allowed to marry if they want marriage.

More ACLU judges at work.

One thing I've noticed on these forums is it's always the "righteous" few who use the most disgusting language and descriptions.
You all seem to know an awful lot about what goes on in other people's bedrooms. Exactly how much did your binoculars cost you???

This is a good step forward towards full equality for those of us in the GLBT community. It will take time, no one ever said that the road to equality was just a block long, but we will win full equal rights someday.

The next logical step will be for the Federal Government to throw out DOMA and DADT, and uphold the Fourteenth Amendment of the US Constitution by giving full civil marriage rights to same sex couples.

Huh? This isn't like Roe v. Wade where there was no "right to privacy" written in the Constitution. That decision was judicial activism or 'legislating from the bench' as its often called. This decision is based on the state's Equal Protection clause.

If you disagree with the court, you embrace judicial activism and legislating from the bench.

Also, there was no dissenting votes. That sort of completely destroys you entire point beyoond the fact that you don't even know what you are talking about.

Well, at least it's comforting to know the USA doesn't hold a monopoly on asinine people.

Does loving someone mean you need to get married? Are there different tyes of love? If you want polygamy rights do you just Incorporate the harem?

all men are created equal, this means if we arent gay, and gays have there way, they will have to make all men gay, go figure

im a wise men i study the constitution, and religion, and gays and such, some thing is not right

Used to be seriously against this.

But what is wrong with atleast a civil union. Financially I mean. To be legally recognized by government for after death purposes. Truthfully, I'll just do anything to make sure government doesn't get another cent. They Tax us in life and take our savings in death. So they can give it to less deserving people. Atleast let the people have it. Where it should be. Not in governments pocket.

Homophobia is caused by sexual frustration and insecurity.

Well, looking at some of the posts in the last hour it's apparent the imbeciles come out late at night. All of you might want to make complete, coherent sentences so we at least know what you are trying to say.

Yea, if Iowans cannot trust themselves with machine gun ownership, the least they could do is marry same sex and leave the sheep and cows alone.

Wow and modest! Get him while he's single girls.

As wise a man as you might be, I find it ironic that your 'studies' have skipped basic grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
