Iowa Court Grants Homosexuals the Right to Undermine Your Perfect, Fairy Tale Marriage

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

Did you feel that?

Did you feel the fragile underpinnings of your heterosexual marriage shifting, creaking as they became further bowed under the strain of force so malevolent it is certain to demolish all which falls into its distant perimeter?

I speak, of course, of two dudes being allowed to be happy with one another

The Iowa Supreme Court issued a unanimous ruling Friday finding that the state's same-sex marriage ban violates the constitutional rights of gay and lesbian couples, making Iowa the third state where gay marriage is legal.

In its decision, the court upheld a 2007 district court judge's ruling that the law violates the state constitution. It strikes the language from Iowa code limiting marriage to only between a man a woman.

"The court reaffirmed that a statute inconsistent with the Iowa constitution must be declared void even though it may be supported by strong and deep-seated traditional beliefs and popular opinion," said a summary of the ruling issued by the court.

That's bullshit!

What good is it being in the majority if it doesn't give you the autonomy to impose your bigoted, mean-spirited, antiquated belief systems on minority groups with less political clout?

What's next? Polyamorous unions between underage leopards and orangutans?

Probably.

  1. Bahaha! This is so simple. Iowa wants the money. They want the money that will come with people coming to the state and getting married. How much do you have to pay for one of these marraige licenses? I haven’t even checked on that. So the state would get money for that. Staying overnight in a hotel, mo money. Eating in a restaurant, booking a hall…etc. So if you are thinking that Iowa is progressive and open, think again. They will smile to your face and agree with anything. Once they have the money, they will probably laugh to your face and arrest you outside the courthouse for more dollars to the state.

  2. Your so called, "bigoted, mean-spirited, antiquated belief systems" is exactly what made this country greater than any other nation in world history and history has proven this.

    If you are reading this and you have rejected God, please know that He does love you no matter. It's not too late to know Him.

    p.s. if you hate on me for talking about God's love, then who is the one who is 'mean-spirited'

  3. I was so happy when I heard, that I had to jump up in joy!

    Now of course, I have a test in 30 min I'm supposed to be cramming for. I blame Iowa if I can't concentrate because I'm so happy now.

  4. Hey, Iowa's pretty nice! And this just proves that they're a more progressive state than they get credit for. GO IOWA!
