Hooray for Iowa!

Their Supreme Court just ruled in favor of same sex marriage.

Now - I wonder if Iowa is also hampered by a political system where a popular vote of 50%+1 vote can strip these newly won rights away?

I know a good number of breeders that don't want to get married (I suspect they are being too right on for their own good tbh) that moan that only gay people can have a civil partnership. There are also people that claim that elderly same gender siblings that live together should be able to have civil partnerships (yet they'd probably die frothing at the mouth if a brother and sister wanted to get married!). Marriage is such a loaded word - which is very very difficult to separate the legal sense from the religious sense.

If I had my way everyone would only be able to have a civil marriage and churches would only be able to perform blessing ceremonies and they would be free to pick and choose who they wanted to offer them to.
