Wisconsin Supreme Court to hear case on gay marriage
lets hope one day we can join Iowa...

Madison - The state Supreme Court on Thursday said it will hear a challenge to the 2006 constitutional amendment that prohibited same-sex marriage.

The order added the case to the agenda for the court's next term, which begins this fall and ends in June 2010. No date for oral arguments was set.

The challenge to the constitutional change was filed in 2007 by Bill McConkey, a Door County resident who teaches at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and who has a daughter who is gay.

McConkey argued that the constitutional change was improperly put before voters in 2006, but a Dane County judge ruled against him. McConkey said voters should have been asked to vote on two separate amendments, instead of the one put before them.
