In this case, we must decide if our state statute limiting civil marriage to a union between a man and a woman violates the Iowa Constitution, as the district court ruled. On our review, we hold the Iowa marriage statute violates the equal protection clause of the Iowa Constitution. Therefore, we affirm the decision of the district court.-The Iowa State Supreme Court, in their unanimous ruling that the state's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional.
Of course, the fascist wing nuts are preparing a ballot initiative that would amend the state constitution. But for now, Iowa joins Massachusetts and Connecticut as the only states in the union to allow gay marriage.
