Gay Marriage Ban Unconstitutional says Iowa Supreme Court Posted by Adriana Dunn on April 3, 2009 at 1:32 pm

Today Iowa became the third state in the US to allow gay marriage, and the first in the Midwest. The unanimous ruling, handed down by the state supreme court, will allow same-sex couples to marry as soon as 21 days from now. Hopefully this victory will bring momentum to the fight to overturn Prop 8 in California, a constitutional amendment passed by voter initiative in November that repealed the right for same sex couples to marry. The SF Gate poses the question: Will Gay Mecca Relocate From San Francisco To Des Moines? Check out this Reuters article for more info on the Iowa ruling, and complete coverage at The Daily Dish.

I think it adds momentum to the fight in a number of states; I cannot believe Washington State has not passed this measure. Who would have thought Iowa would lead the way… I love it.
