Iowa Court - Same Sex Couples can marry

[No One]

Iowa? Really.

63 page decision?!?!?!?!?!?!

The 63-page ruling, written by Judge Robert Hanson states: "Couples, such as plaintiffs, who are otherwise qualified to marry one another may not be denied licenses to marry or certificates of marriage or in any other way prevented from entering into a civil marriage pursuant to Iowa Code Chapter 595 by reason of the fact that both persons compromising such a couple are of the same sex."

The law describing marriage as between a man and a woman, "constitutes the most intrusive means by the state to regulate marriage. This statute is an absolute prohibition on the ability of gay and lesbian individuals to marry a person of their choosing," Hanson wrote.

since no one else will do it.. I will...

Now, Stuart,
if you look at the soil around any large US city,
there's a big underground homosexual population.
Des Moines, Iowa,for an example.
Look at the soil around Des Moines, Stuart.
You can't build on it; you can't grow anything in it.
The government says it's due to poor farming.
But I know what's really going on, Stuart.
I know it's the queers. They're in it with the aliens.
They're building landing strips for gay Martians, I swear to God.
