Gay Marriage Fight in Iowa

Now that the Iowa Supreme Court has heard oral arguments about the constitutionality of same-sex marriage in Iowa, both sides are already preparing for the next phase of their struggle….

Meanwhile, supporters of the gay marriage ban, aware the court might overturn the Defense of Marriage Act, are looking to redouble their efforts to win approval for a constitutional amendment to prevent same-sex couples from marrying. Because of the state’s reading and hearing requirements, passage of such an amendment is a lengthy process likely to take a minimum of three years.
