agreed is there a movement to get their state constitution changed there?
Is there any chance of appeal and if so then the homo’s cannot marry legally , am I correct?

To all good Iowans, you are welcome to come south to Missouri. Make sure you have a job, or can relocate your business here. Our tax BASE will then lower our overall taxes, and those who are left in Iowa will have what they want & Missouri’s economy will burgeon. I also share this info with residents of Neb. & Ks.
Well, animals and children are not consenting adults capable of entering into a contract, so that’s a null argument.
so they say the ban is unconstitutional
are these people in this world at all.
This now says that any kind of marriage can be legal, man and his sister, mother and her daughter, man with his dag, two or ten wives to a man.
what on earth is going on and why haven’;t they got this in their constitution like many of us down here
so what you are saying is that now the homo’s can marry legally?
If so why doesn’;t all sorts of weirdo’s go there and get their kind of marriage legal, after all the court has said that to ban this kind of marriage is unconstitutional
—It doesn’t matter what they think, we changed our constitution. —
Thank God for that.
this is why the next election is more important and we have to take seats to stop this.
We have to go on the attack and we have to let the people know that the Dem party is for illegal,s homo’s handouts, high taxes
this is the problem wit the GOP they never get their message out
right now I feel that the south the midwest and AK should go it alone as this is pathetic.
we cannot have a small handful of people forcing their perverted sick lifestyles on to us and then saying they are normal anymore
Secular law is there to provide equal protection of its citizenry, and as long as the law has the ability to support "marriage as only between a man and a woman", it also has the ability to destroy that concept.
"Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's" -- all the the law should be concerned with is the legal aspect of a partnership -- ie domestic partnership (for all of us).
Let "marriage" stay where it belongs -- in the hands of the clergy who have a higher concept and purpose for it -- not in the hands of politicians and judges who have no such higher concept or purpose.
Frankly, unless all our States move toward "domestic partnerships" only for straights and gays, I think that we are going to see States fall prey to recognizing gay marraige, one by one, whether we like it or not.
I'm in California and I don't think Prop 8 (defining "marriage as only between a man and a woman") is going to hold up in the courts.
We banned affirmative action the same way.
Yes. Except for their rampant practice of homosexuality on the "down low" in many Islamic cultures.
Current Iowa law does not allow cousins to marry. I assume two cousins can enter into any other legal contract. The restriction of cousins marrying in Iowa assumes genetic reproduction, and therefore could not apply to same sex couples. So how could two gay cousins be prevented from marrying? I can't wait for those lawsuits to start.
Some states allow cousin marriage if both parties are past childbearing years, or if one party is sterile. If that is not a violation of equal protection, I do not know what is. But, if marriage is not a right, no violation of equal protection should exist.
If marriage is a right, and just like any other contract, there is no reason siblings cannot marry, or parents marry their own children.
In fact, if marriage is a right, why can't a widower marry his single daughter, therefore avoiding probate and estate issues?
Does Michigan have a movement to recognize these out-of-state gay marriages, or any lawsuits on the issue? I think the lefties want to avoid this type of lawsuit, maybe a conservative think tank should file one just to get the issue into the court system and up to the Supremes just as the 2010 election cycle unfolds.

—Yes. Except for their rampant practice of homosexuality on the “down low” in many Islamic cultures—
Yes, young boys especially are notoriously “popular” in that subculture. Does seem that hypocrisy (something that Islam supposedly considers abominable) is at play here.
I agree! States have got to start taking a stand against the Federal judicial tyranny going on!
It's a shame you weren't on the legal team in Iowa trying to defend Marriage. Your point make more sense than they way they tried to argue.
If, as a society, we don't have the right to define "marriage" as between a man and a woman, then by what right can we define it at all?
It's open season now... I'm rather fond of my neighbor's spotted sheep. :-)
Why limit it there? I want to marry my furniture so I can claim additional tax deductions. Who says I can't? It's not fair!
