The Iowa Supreme Court said today that a ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional. See http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090403/ap_on_re_us/iowa_gay_marriage

Didn't Vermont do something important along these lines too?

yup - VT passed a same sex marriage bill through the Senate with an HUGE margin, went through the House and passed 95-52 yesterday. Gov. Douglas has stated - loudly, and apparently at every given opportunity - that he will veto the bill. The House vote is not enough for a veto override as it stands, 5 or more of those no votes need to change. Best source of info I have seen for this has been the Burlington Free Press - www.burlingtonfreepress.com or bfp_news on Twitter.
