tl;dr Iowa passes gay marriage bill.

Fuck Vegas, Iowa is the place to get married now.

I never thought I'd actually be proud of my home state.

My home state...where, on September 11th, I got food thrown at me at lunch for being brown.

    I just finished reading a paragraph in my book about how finches will also screw stuffed, dead finches with bodies and heads swapped. Maybe we just, you know, shouldn't use the animal world as a moral compass.

    Man hearing stuff like this makes my blood boil. On behalf of white people I apologize. You should have food thrown at you for way more reasons than being brown.

    Hmm
    Brien, the Polk County recorder, rejected the marriage license requests because he “has no say in this law,” Kuhle said. “He can no more give these plaintiffs a license than he could give a license to a man and three women,” he added.

    Kuhle argued that same-sex marriage could loosen the definition of marriage to include polygamy. Future generations might discard the institution if they come to believe that opposite-sex parents are not necessary, he argued.

    While this is a good call by the judges, people are already calling for Iowa to pass a constitutional amendment banning it.

    I remember hearing about an experiment where they made stuffed models of turkeys and got male turkeys to fuck them and then started removing parts to see if the males would still fuck them. The male turkeys kept right on fucking; the researchers noted that the turkeys preferred a stick with a model turkey head on it over a turkey body with no head.

    No. They were actually more pissed than I was. I was more offended that they weren't even correct in their racism (I'm indian, not middle-eastern).

    My friend is a year behind me and people started throwing shit at her and she started crying. I took drove her home and talked to her and calmed her down and whatever.

    When I got back to school, the teachers served me with a 4hour Saturday detention for skipping class. I reminded them that they didn't do anything to stop muffins and empty milk cartons from being thrown at me that day.

    They didn't retract the detention, but I never served it. Maybe I should go back one Saturday and sit there and remind them that I have a high paying job in Chicago while they are still sitting in bumfuck Iowa.

    “I think it’s significant because Iowa is considered a Midwest sate in the mainstream of American thought,” Socarides said. “Unlike states on the coasts, there’s nothing more American than Iowa.

    eat a dick, guy, we've been America longer than Iowa has

    There's gonna be more of these rulings, though I didn't really expect it in Iowa. Pretty much every state has a Constitution that precludes statutory limitations on gay marriage rights, it just takes a while to get through the courts.

    Even the anti-homoqueer brigade recognizes itself (in private) that short of a Constitutional amendment at the State or Federal level there's really nothing to be done to stop gays from getting married.

    Actually that totally corresponds to the results of the finch study. Finches would rather fuck something with "their" head than the head of another species of finch. The body was apparently just a nice perk.

    But seriously, that's awesome news. It saddens me that if they have their choice, Michigan will probably be dead last in allowing same-sex marriage.

    Okay. Really? Come on. There are a lot of farmers up here but last I checked this was a blue state and this should not be that big of a surprise. It's happened before here like three times, and each time it was overruled somehow.

    We are not the deep south.
