Thank you Iowa
The Supreme Court of Iowa Gets It™:
The sanctity of all religious marriages celebrated in the future will have the
same meaning as those celebrated in the past. The only difference is civil
marriage will now take on a new meaning that reflects a more complete
understanding of equal protection of the law. This result is what our
constitution requires.
I have long advocated that we distinguish between the religious and the civil institutions of marriage, and the Iowa Supreme Court has done just that.
