Equal Rights, Gay Marriage, Gay Support
Iowa is now the third state in the US to allow gay marriage. Iowa's Supreme Court ruled on Friday April 3, 2009 that the gay marriage ban was unconstitutional and has cleared the way for gay marriage.
Iowa now joins Massassuchets and Vermont as states allowing gays to marry. New York could be close to allowing gay marriage as it now only will recognize gay marriages from other states. We have to ride the momentum wave and now work on a getting Federal recognition. Then the states have to allow it.
I'm not a lawyer, but isn't there a US constitutional amendment that allows for free movement within the states? All the states that ban gay marriage would be in violation of that right. If you are a gay married couple from Vermont, you wouldn't be able to move to...say Georgia or Florida because your marriage wouldn't be recognized. That action by those states are preventing you from moving where you wish. The same law smacked Florida with it's car 'impact' fee for out of state car registrations and the state was forced to pay back millions.
This is great news....let us all get inspired!
