OKAY SO I KNOW I JUST POSTED LIKE... TWENTY MINUTES AGO OR SOMETHING BUT I HAVE TO SHARE THIS NEWS WITH YOU ALL.

THE IOWA SUPREME COURT HAS JUST DECLARED IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL FOR GAY COUPLES TO BE DENIED A MARRIAGE LICENCE.

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS I HAVE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT. I WANT TO JUMP UP AND DOWN AND DANCE AND SING AND SCREAM TO THE HEAVENS. I WANT TO FIND A GIRL AND GET MARRIED, JUST BECAUSE I CAN.

from Cate(sheafrotherdon)'s lj:

The Iowa District Court for Polk County today ruled that same-sex couples must be allowed to marry under the equal protection provisions of the Iowa constitution.

I'm quite sure this decision will be appealed, so it's not over yet - indeed the Des Moines Register's coverage [suggests as much].

Cate has also posted a celebratory Farm in Iowa snippet.

Unfortunately I can't do anything other than squee and wish I had a girlfriend who would be willing to go down to Des Moines with me and get married, just because we can.

This is brought to you today by The Committee of More Reasons Why I Love Living In Iowa, Even Though It Can Be Really Boring Sometimes Because Nobody Famous Ever Comes Here.

maybe a gay/lesbian kissing picspam to be coming soon?
