If Iowa can allow same-sex couples to marry then what the fuck is wrong with the rest of this country? (that excludes places like Massachusetts and New Jersey were they aready allow these things)

First gay couple legally marries in Iowa By HENRY C. JACKSON, Associated Press Writer

DES MOINES, Iowa - Two men were married outside a minister's home in the state's first legal same-sex wedding Friday morning, less than 24 hours after a judge threw out Iowa's ban on gay marriage.

It was narrow window of opportunity.

At 11 a.m., after about 20 gay couples had applied for marriage licenses, the Polk County Recorder announced that she had been instructed to stop accepting their applications.

Recorder Julie Haggerty said the instruction came from the county attorney's office after Judge Robert Hanson, the same judge who threw out the ban on Thursday, verbally issued a stay of his ruling at the county's request. Hanson was expected to file the written ruling later in the day, his clerk said.

But unforch, we can't marry in Jersey...yet!

:rofl:

Anyway, joke aside (and yes, I know Haggerty is spelled different), that's great!

Good for the judge who threw the fucking thing out, and good for the state.

:party: :woohoo: :toast:

fatal aneurysm or heart attack or something.

I am evil.


But happy for my native state!!

He is one of the most sneakiest in the Congress...........I despise him :hi:

But why has the County Attorney ordered the County Clerk to stop taking applications for licenses? Who the F does he think he is to override the court?!!

Iowa is a strange liberal bastion. Farmland, with corn as high as an elephants eye...

They Gave us Henry Agard Wallace too!

Are your senators more progressive than Tom Harkin?

Fienstein is a DINO

Boxers pretty good tho

but she isn't more so.

About the only person in either house to the left of Harkin is Bernie Sanders.

Family is from Iowa. Everyone in my family is some form of Lefty, except my dad of course.

Fire won't rain down from the sky, millions of heterosexual marriages won't be destroyed, the first born of each family won't die, or whatever dire predictions the opponents of our legal rights to marriage equality try to spread to justify their bigotry.

Life in Iowa will go on as before. The difference is that the institution of marriage will be strengthened because more people are able to enjoy the benefits.

Good for Iowa.

Maybe. Just maybe.


The evil Critters

Nice to see Iowa join the 21st century.

nt

Nothing.

:bounce:

when 56,385 heterosexual Iowa couples filed for divorce on the grounds that the sanctity of their marriages had been "permanently tainted."

W00t! for Judge Hanson. This won't stick, but bless him for making a stand. :patriot:

Fucking social conservatives may throw roadblocks in the path of true equality, but they cant stop it.

Society trends toward more progressive and inclusive attitudes.

I'm stoked!

And they know it and the fact they know it is what fuels their deep-seated anger.
What they really need to do is to submit to their true desires. Those people are all about submission. Let them give in to who they really are rather than living in denial and hatred. The gop could be a viable political party sometime if they ever decide to come clean about who they really are as individuals.
