IOWA!

The Iowa Supremes ruled for gay marriage! This morning they announced their ruling that struck down a 1998 law that defined marriage between a man and a woman. The announcement was made on the court's website -- which crashed from too many hits about 10 minutes before the ruling was posted. Details of their reasoning will have to come later.

The photo at this link is from several months ago. A lower court ruled that gay marriages must be allowed, then several hours later stayed the ruling (said it didn't have to be followed) until the Supremes could rule. In those few hours the couple pictured here managed to hold a wedding.

Of course, efforts to pass a constitution amendment to ban gay marriage will soon begin.
