Same Sex Marriage??
Yesterday at 8:30 the legislator held a meeting to discuss the debatable issue of gay rights, and if gay marriages should be allowed in the state of Iowa… After a unanimous discussion, the answer was yes. Iowa will be the third state in the United States to legalize gay marriage, Massachusetts and Connecticut. I believe that sooner or later all of the united sates of America will eventually legalize the same sex marriages. For Iowa to become the third state to legalize it, and the first state in the mid west, it will show the other states that it is okay to have this. The only confusions or problems that could arise out of this or that would make a difference is that the people will have to go else where to get married, then move back to where they were, they will think that they have the same rights as any other married couple. Not only does this rise the question of the different states stance on this issue, however it also changes the fact that other state are taking this into consideration and if the states all around the state that opposes the idea might just end up causing more problems. That is why I think that the federal court should be in charged of saying what states should have the rights for the same sex marriages, either make it fair through out all the states or set boundaries for the states, that way the same sex couple can live happy where ever they are and know their rights from one place to another. I am not saying that I am for or if I oppose the same sex marriage, however I think that this is too big of a decision for the states to make, I think that the federals should have more rules, or be more strict. That would make things more fair and less confusing to a lot of the same sex couples and they could decide for themselves if they want to get married or not, it should be up to them, not the state.
