Gay Marriage in Iowa

Iowa's Supreme Court has agreed that the statute that limited marriage was in breach of the state's constitution equal protection clause. It's an interesting case from a constitutional and human rights law perspective as well as the obvious law and sexuality angle. It's interesting that this is a legal shift rather than a political one and I can't help thinking how sustainable that is in the long term. You can read more about the story here and read the judgment here.
