Zach Wahls, a 19-year-old University of Iowa student spoke about the strength of his family during a public forum on House Joint Resolution 6 in the Iowa House of Representatives. Wahls has two mothers, and came to oppose House Joint Resolution 6 which would end civil unions in Iowa.
Color me impressed with his eloquence!

Oh, except your blurb is incorrect. The Iowa House passed a resolution to do a Prop 8 in that state. That is, take away the equal marriage rights already being enjoyed by loving gays and lesbians in Iowa, its Supreme Court having recognized that it's constitution enshrines that right and has done so all along. They ousted the Supreme Court judges that came up for re-election last November. The Democrats control the Iowa Senate, so this bill is not likely to proceed further. In any event, Iowa is a little smarter than California in that a Constitutional Amendment requires the vote of the people - in two consecutive years. Bravo Iowa. (According to Zach, the Iowa Constitution is the least amended constitution in the U.S.) |
