(CNN) -- An Iowa district court ruled Thursday that same-sex couples can marry based on the state constitution's guarantee of equal treatment, court documents show. The ruling was in response to a December 2005 lawsuit brought by six same-sex couples seeking to wed. They were denied marriage licenses and claimed such treatment violates equal-protection and due-process clauses in the Iowa constitution. The court also struck down a state law declaring valid marriages are only between a man and woman. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/08/30/iowa.samesexmarriage/index.html God bless Iowa (IMO)!
I think marriage is about love, not law. I don't have any problems with two consenting adults getting married, even if they are of the same sex. I think gays should enjoy the same protections and freedoms under the law straights do.
That is really great news for Senator Larry Craig!!! The Iowa court ruling came in about the right time for him to come out of the closet.
I'm all for gay marriage. I can't see why gays are excluded from the same fun the rest of us are having
