Why Iowa won't go backwards on marriage rights

An interesting look at Iowa's history regarding civil rights and equality under the law. This State Legislator shares his opinion that Iowa won't succumb to the fear tactics used in California to introduce discrimination into their constitution.

Weathering the Storm (Response to NOM Gathering Storm)

The storm clouds are beginning to gather over Iowa!

History in the Heartland!

My hope is that the joy of this day will not be denied some months later like it was in California.

Iowa Rocks

I was amazed that my conservative home state of Iowa made national news last week. The Iowa Supreme Court in a unanimous decision found that denying same-sex couples the opportunity to marry violated that state's constitution.

Now if the United States Supreme Court would do the same at the national level .......... well I can dream can't I??

Of course the religious right will try to amend the Iowa constitution to allow discrimination against the GLBT community (like they did in California), but at least for now I can truly be proud to say I was born and raised in the great state of Iowa!
