What a sad day to be an Iowan. Here I thought that I lived in a forward-thinking state where love and acceptance of others would lead the way, but instead the lawmakers have taken 2 steps back. This is discrimination, plain and simple. I thought small gov. meant less intrusion in the lives of the people. How is it fair that the law can tell you who you can and cannot marry? It’s 2011, we need to let go of these archaic ideas of the past.
