Iowa?!!??

Iowa.

If you had me guess which state was going to legalize same-sex marriage next, my childhood home would not exactly have been at the top of the list.

I wonder if their Supreme Court will let it stand? And what the reaction there will be if it does?

Wow!

Yeah. That was pretty much all I could say for the first fifteen minutes or so... ;)

Iowa?? Iowa??
Wonders never cease. That is pretty darn cool.
I will be even more tickled if the State Supreme Court upholds the ruling.

Me too!

To be fair, I wouldn't have put Iowa on the bottom of the list either. But I'm still really surprised.

Right. It's certainly not the last state I'd think of doing it, and it's a pretty moderate state in the midwest (based on the fact that it was "blue" in 2000 and "red" in 2004), but there's still a lot of heavily "red" states in that region.

I guess in my mind, I had my typical coastal bias - I thought Oregon & Washington state would be next, or one of the other New England states and that some time later the moderate mid-west states would follow, but I'm thrilled that Iowa is jumping in the mix!
