Iowa, we love ‘ya.

Next car on the gay marriage train is Iowa. This week, the Iowa Supreme Court decided that not allowing gays to marry was illegal and discriminatory. As a result, gay marriage will be allowed in Iowa starting on April 27, 2009.

This fight has been going for years and the surprise outcome is great news for the gay community. It's great to see some states waking up and realizing that this is a civil rights issue and not a social issue too. We all need to join together and press the Federal Government to repeal the Defensive Marriage Act. If that is gone, it would pave the way for federally recognized gay marriages. That's what we really need. This is a civil rights issue that is gaining momentum. The people should not be allowed to 'vote'. It is unconstitutional for a group of majority citizens to vote on the rights of minority citizens.

Come on Obama...help us out!
