Marriage Equality comes to the Midwest
Submitted by .Sean on April 3, 2009 - 8:20amA unanimous decision from the Iowa Supreme Court:
DES MOINES, Iowa - The Iowa Supreme Court says the state's same-sex marriage ban violates the constitutional rights of gay and lesbian couples, making it the third state where gay marriage is legal.
In a unanimous ruling issued Friday, the court upheld a 2007 Polk County District Court judge's ruling that the law was unconstitutional.
Still, because of Missouri’s 2004 anti-marriage constitutional amendment, same-sex marriages will not be recognized here in Missouri.
UPDATE: And the Missouri backlash begins
