Reguardless of your opinion on the subject, this is big news! Potentially setting up other midwest states for similar action. Here's the question posed: Is it a good thing that Iowa, specifically, legalized gay marriage as opposed to a different state, or a more liberal location?

I say let them marry why not. Though I dont know when marriage became a state right I thought it was a religious concept. You know maybe the gay people should start a gay church and have their own weddings save them alot of trouble. After all freedom of religion is in the constitution.
What a shame that the institution of Marriage has been soiled, by activist gays.
Hopefully the rest of the midwest will hold the line and not fall for this kind of intolerance of traditional values and families.

I always saw it as a state thing.
My mom and step-dad had a justice of the peace.
There is nothing on the marriage license that requires you to get it signed by a religious official.
If marriage is such a religious thing, why are atheists allowed to get married?
We all pay taxes and it isn't fair for one group of citizens to subsidize an institution that discriminates against them.
There are churches that are for same-sex marriage:
United Church of Christ
Unitarian Universalist
Metropolitan Community Church

I think the institution of marriage has already been soiled by the 50% divorce rate, domestic violence in marriages, adultery, etc.
I know plenty of gay couples who have been together for many years and have more commitment than many heterosexual married couples.
If you're concerned about the institution of marriage, try to get your state to outlaw divorce, punish people who cheat on their spouses, and make the penalties tougher for men who beat their wives or women who beat their husbands.
