Today, Thursday August 30, 2007, marks a huge day for gay rights activists and the gay community as a whole. Earlier today, an Iowa district court ruled that denying same-sex couples the right to marry goes against the state consitution's stance on equal treatment. The court also ruled against the state law that stated marriage was between a man and a woman. The Polk County attorney's plan to take this ruling to the Iowa Supreme Court.
Personally, I do not believe that it is my place or the government's place to tell people who they can and cannot love or marry. I think it is someone's personal choice and whatever decision they make is their business. They know themselves. I cannot make a decision for someone I do not know and I do not think that someone can make a blanket statement about a group of people.
