Love Is A Corny Thing
So, in case you missed it, there was a brief flurry of gay marriages in Iowa, as a judge there has ruled that the state Constitution allows for such a thing. Of course, now a "concerned" attorney is appealing the decision, so things are on hold for the time being.
Still. Iowa found in favor of gay marriage. That must have flipped a few wigs among the religious right. I don't think this will be a big issue this time around, though. Oh, sure, Romney's probably charting out the best way to flog this issue for all it's worth, but when you come down to it, the American people have become well-nigh-irrevocably pissed off at the war, and unless the vast majority of the Republican candidates suddenly turn around and realize just what a mistake the war's become, I doubt they're going to win anyone over, no matter how much they push the idea of us queers marrying.
