Iowa Court Strikes a Blow for Equality

Good news for Iowa gay couples: “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.”

Clearly I’m not in a position to comment on legal issues relating the interpretation of the Iowa constitution, but it seems clear to me that discrimination against gay and lesbian couples violates the values of equality and due process that underlie the U.S. constitution and most state constitutions that I’m familiar with.
