Its Unanimous!!! Marriage Equality in Iowa!!!

From The DesMoines Register:

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 affirmed a Polk County District Court decision that would allow six gay couples to marry.

The ruling is viewed as a victory for the gay rights movement in Iowa and elsewhere, and a setback for social conservatives who wanted to protect traditional families.

This is a great day for Gay and Lesbians in Iowa and in teh entire US fo it is the first time a mid-west state has granted marriage equality rights to us. Advocates will use this decision to show that even in the mid-west Gay and Lesbian citizens rights to equality need too be upheld.

A wonderful day!
