Democratic and Liberal political analysis and commentary

What a nice surprise in my own home town today! Polk County Judge Robert Hanson overturned an Iowa law that bans same-sex marriage. This after a week of listening to conservatives pontificate about morals, this ruling couldn't have been issued at a more perfect time. Barring an injunction, which has already been requested by the County Attorney John Sarcone, the ruling will allow to apply for and be granted marriage licenses in my home county.

I have a deeply held personal belief that all people have the right to marry the person they love. It's not up to us who we feel attracted to and fall in love with. There is plenty of evidence that heterosexual married people don't do a great job of keeping marriage sacred, so that argument is not even valid.
