Iowa: Midwest for Love

The same state that rescued Obama in President 08' has done it again for Marriage Equality and Gay Rights :)

"Our Liberties We Prize and Our Rights We Will Maintain"

[Des Moines Register]Unanimous ruling: Iowa marriage no longer limited to one man, one woman

"A statute inconsistent with the Iowa Constitution must be declared void, even though it may be supported by strong and deep-seated traditional beliefs and popular opinion." - Cady, Justice

"...the very purpose of limiting the power of the elected branches of government by constitutional provisions like the Equal Protection Clause is “to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts." - Robert H Jackson, Justice

Thank you, Iowa~
