3 Down, 47 More To Go!

Who knew Iowa was more progressive than California. Actually Iowa has a history of early equal civil rights. I'm happy now that a state in the heartland has come to its senses and decided to treat us equally. Because now maybe people can look at it and not think that it's only the elite/liberal Northeast thats doing this. 

And Iowa really is a beautiful state. Now I really only saw it from the highway. But it's rolling hills of corn fields spotted with trees. And I spent the last portion of the drive right at dusk. Really pretty. Nebraska, not so much. Pretty much once you cross the state line, it suddenly gets really ugly. Go figure. So yay Iowa!

So now we have three states that allow gay marriage and yet the end of the world hasn't come yet. Still no rapture. Maybe we have to wait till all states allow it? I dunno. 

The odd thing is that there isn't a much larger hullabaloo about this. I mean I had to search on the front page of Huffington Post to find the story. It's buried way down near the bottom. How things change. And changing they are. 

Justice is coming. It will happen in my lifetime. It's shameful that as progressive Oregon loves to portray itself that we don't have full, equal marriage. Shameful.
