QUOTE
The Iowa Supreme Court legalized gay marriage Friday in a unanimous and emphatic decision that makes Iowa the third state — and first in the nation's heartland — to allow same-sex couples to wed.

Iowa joins only Massachusetts and Connecticut in permitting same-sex marriage. For six months last year, California's high court allowed gay marriage before voters banned it in November.

The Iowa justices upheld a lower-court ruling that rejected a state law restricting marriage to a union between a man and woman.

I personally think it's a great thing. I have still yet to here a valid reason why gay marriage isn't allowed. Damn.

I don't think that every state will follow in Iowa's footsteps on this one, there are still going to be states that will have it banned, and unless this goes to the federal supreme court, nothing's gonna escalate beside a few of the heartland states following Iowa. You won't see any states like NY, or FL allowing gay people to get married. At least, not for a long time.
