Iowa Supreme Court Overturns Marriage Law!

Unanimous ruling: Iowa marriage no longer limited to one man, one woman

REGISTER STAFF REPORTS • April 3, 2009
The Iowa Supreme Court this morning unanimously upheld gays’ right to marry.

“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 justices said in a summary of their decision.

The court rules that gay marriage would be legal in three weeks, starting April 24.
Already the Right Wing Conservatives are crying “Judicial Decree,” “the courts are making the law.” However, the courts are just starting to see the discrimination and the injustice in banning marriage equality. They when you treat one class of people differently it is inherently wrong and they are only correcting that injustices.
