that queer marriage would hit next in a red state?
Honestly, 'Republican' does not necessarily mean the same thing in Iowa that it does elsewhere. I mean. Even the hard-core conservatives I knew when I lived there ten years ago were of the opinion that people could do what they wanted with whomever they wanted just so long as they didn't make folks watch. Not completely open-minded, no, but here in Missouri people call that mindset dangerously liberal. :P
I give even odds that the ruling will be overturned, just as I do whenever I hear about a blue state making that kind of ruling, but I'm not surprised they went there in the first place.
Gosh. I'm just so darn proud of my favorite state on Earth. *floats*
