The Supreme Court decision read "Under such a law, gay or lesbian individuals cannot simultaneously fulfill their deeply felt need for a committed personal relationship." I'm very happily married to a woman and very fulfilled even though I am primarily attracted to men. For Iowa to say I am incapable of such a relationship is discriminatory. I wish they could have just said that anyone should be able to marry anyone they chose rather than saying I am incapable of loving my wife.Joshua Johansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05349604114090512427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13589532.post-46460691425064253912009-04-03T11:49:00.000-07:002009-04-03T11:49:00.000-07:00Don't forget, Ken, that there will also undoubtedl...Don't forget, Ken, that there will also undoubtedly be calls to change the way those darn activist judges are selected.<BR/><BR/>I'm impressed that they were able to issue a unanimous opinion.<BR/><BR/>You know, my parents were married in Iowa. Somehow I don't think they feel any less married right now than they did this morning. I'd guess, in fact, that they enjoy their marriage just a little more right now, knowing that other good people of Iowa will finally be able to experience the joy and security that marriage has provided them these past 45 years.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12429147325673256508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13589532.post-30210900755145435082009-04-03T11:28:00.000-07:002009-04-03T11:28:00.000-07:00Iowa Supreme Court said gay-YES!See the actual vid...Iowa Supreme Court said gay-YES!<BR/>See the actual video.<BR/><A HREF="http://malecafe.net/video/index.php?q=Iowa-Supreme-Court" REL="nofollow">video</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13589532.post-31328568673060590592009-04-03T10:54:00.000-07:002009-04-03T10:54:00.000-07:00And despite the fact that this was a state court d...And despite the fact that this was a state court decision, by judges appointed by the governor of the statue, applying state precedent to the state constitution, and potentially reversible through a constitutional amendment through the state political process, this will be touted as showing the need for a federal constitutional amendment to protect federalism.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459435007672107327noreply@blogger.com
