Iowa Supreme Court Decides---

---that the law banning marriage between two people of the same sex is unconstitutional.

There was rejoicing in the streets of Des Moines and Iowa City after the announcement yesterday. Rest assured that I was not a participant.

In about three weeks, same-sex marriages will again be taking place in Iowa.

No doubt a constitutional amendment, which could not become effective until 2012 at the earliest, which would define "marriage" as being between one man and one woman will be discussed the next time the Iowa legislature meets. In nearly every state where such an amendment has been put before the voters, it has passed.

This surely isn't the Iowa in which I grew up! In the good old days, it was conservative, Republican, pro right-to-work, and with a balanced budget. Now it is none of those.

Perhaps it is time to move to Wyoming.
