So let me get this straight. Larry King is on his 8th divorce, Elizabeth Taylor is possibly getting married for a 9th time, Britney Spears had a 55 hour marriage, Jesse James and Tiger Woods, while married, were having sex with EVERYONE; yet the idea of SAME-SEX marriage is going to destroy the institution of marriage? Really??
The whole country is laughing at us because of Steve King…please don’t it even worse.
Law makers, I urge you to make the right decision and allow everyone the same rights.
After the civil rights movement I’m surprised we haven’t learned the lessons from history. When will all Americans believe in their own word of equal rights and freedom?!
To rep. Rich Anderson, I’m appalled that his only argument against homosexual marriage is procreation. Leaving the obvious sexual issues of his aside, what about those who can’t procreate? Or the ones who do but can’t afford? Or simply didn’t want to be parents? Mr. Wahl (among many intelligent others) is proof those kids do just fine in same-sex households. Get smart Iowa, the future depends on it!
