Iowa and New Jersey Join Gay Marriage Debate

The issue of gay marriage doesn't appear to be fading any time soon!

Iowa justices are hearing a gay marriage case on whether the state's 10-year-old law defining marriage as“only “between a male and female” violates the Iowa Constitution’s guarantees of equal treatment and due process.

And in New Jersey, a state commission has recommended moving beyond civil unions to full marriage for gay couples.

On one hand, if us queers keep challenging this in as many states as possible, eventually the conservatives will run out of money to fight us, their churches and foundations will go bankrupt and they'll have to throw in the towel--and we'll win! Not exactly a resounding victory but victory nonetheless.
