"We are firmly convinced the exclusion of gay and lesbian people from the institution of civil marriage does not substantially further any important governmental objective."

IOWA! Has declared the ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional! So has Vermont!

On the same day! 

This is WONDERFUL!

the problem with vermont is that the governor has already promised to veto it when it gets to his office

Thank you for posting it:) I feel like singing happy songs like "we shall overcome" and feel all suffragette-y. Ok, also then immediately feel like I'm in Mary Poppins but...OMG.

"Our daughters' daughters will adore us/and they'll sing in grateful chorus/Well done sister suffragette!"

No, I kid you not, I caper throughout my flat singing that. Rly.

So now we wait for:
Vermont veto
Iowa to start new laws banning it
New York on the 28th to see how that vote goes.

The government and the religious just need to get over it already. People are people. Equality. No conditions. Just equality.

I feel vaguely guilty that my first reaction was "wait, IOWA?".

Still, congratulations! Two (one and a half?) more cracks in the wall.

I still can't figure out how Iowa is suddenly cooler than New York and California, but Yay!
