Iowa Supreme Court Supports Civil Unions for All Citizens

Des Moines, April 3, 2009— In a unanimous decision, the Iowa Supreme Court
today held that 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 decision strikes the language from Iowa Code section 595.2 limiting civil
marriage to a man and a woman. It further directs that the remaining statutory
language be interpreted and applied in a manner allowing gay and lesbian
people full access to the institution of civil marriage.
Thank you for doing what’s right and just. This legal system might just work after all. Now if we can get the politicians to leave their church out of the state, this might just stand. Heck, Obama is getting rid of nukes too! We might just exist as a human race for a bit longer!
