We were fully expecting a loss yesterday in Iowa, but some miracle happened and Iowa became the 3rd state in the nation to legalize gay marriage. Although, the celebration yesterday continued into the night. This morning it is time to wake up to the facts. Our opposition is already trying to use this judicial cycle (ending in 2 weeks) to amend the constitution and discriminate against gay and lesbian individuals.
Though it is unlikely to happen - we can't just expect it not to! the next 14 days will be very telling in the state of Iowa. If we can stay strong through them marriage without any residence clause will take place throughout the whole state - with hubs here in Grinnell, in Iowa City, and Des Moines.
The economy will boom because of gay marriage - and Iowa hasn't seen it coming
I will keep my fingers crossed and I will fight through the next 3 years to change the hearts and minds of the opposition.
Good Luck Iowa - you have come so far!
