The court, led by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Anthony Kennedy, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, and Justice Elena Kagan said that states must grant marriage licenses to same sex couples. Until today, several states that border Iowa had bans on same sex marriage, including Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Missouri. Iowa and Minnesota already allow same sex couples to marry.
In the ruling, the court declared that the Fourteenth Amendment requires a state to license a marriage between two people of the same sex and to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-state.

Really, so the law’s of nature are no longer valid? Maybe a man will someday get pregnant by sodomizing their mate. Ouch that hurt. snicker, snicker
This just happens to be one of those times in our history that man/women are making laws for the fools. It feels good!
Did you ever stop to think that being born with the desire to have sex with your own gender is a birth defect?
This will all get sorted out in time. Right now I am not going to loose any sleep over this gay BS, I never have before and ain’t gonna start now.
My Christianity still works for me! All you folks that are using the Bible for a whipping post are letting your emotions get the best of you.
Next marry a cow.. O wait it must already be legal Bill is kinda married to Hillary ..
I love watching people use God to hide their hate of people. How many of the rules in the bible do you all follow? Just curious because it has a lot of them like; don’t eat pork or red meat, in fact you cant even touch the skin of a pig, don’t get tattoos or your ears pierced, don’t wear fabric that is mixed with other types of fabric, don’t eat seafood that isn’t a fish, don’t cut your hair or shave your beard, divorce and remarriage are right out of the question, don’t work on Saturday which is the holy day because Gods chosen people are the Jews. Being religious does not make your morally superior just like being an atheist does not make you intellectually superior. Love everyone…
Funny how everything you said is in the OLD testament, ever hear of the NEW testament? Try reading and studying the bible before you try to use it as a weapon.,
You skip 1st Corinthians?
“Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak”
or Timothy?
“But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”
Yes they are. In fact so is the often quoted law from Leviticus used as a weapon against homosexuals. The New Testament hardly makes mention of it, in fact Jesus says absolutely nothing about it, and where it is found it is lumped in with other behaviors that are deemed unacceptable, but no special emphasis is placed on that behavior among any other such as; drunks or adulterers. The New Testament also has some laws that are broken common place these days, divorce and remarriage is from Mark, and not being allowed to wear gold or pearls is from Timothy.
It’s hate wrapped in hypocrisy, it’s the Christian way!!
Knuckle dragging Neanderthals and far right, radical conservatives are now an endangered species given the historic events of this day. Can’t wait to see the spin and dance steps of presidential candidates.
The conservative agenda is slowly but surely fading away. Keep clinging to your bibles and bigotry while the rest of the nation leaves you in its wake.
I would rather be left in the wake with my God than go the path that satan is taking this country.
To expound on the post of Maybe, It’s a great day in Sodom and Gomorrah
Great decision by our SCOTUS! Nobody should be able to tell anyone else who they can love and marry.
except God but what does he know
Friggin FRUITCAKES !!!!!
Maybe God isn’t a he. Maybe God is a she.
We’ve covered this many times, god isn’t real. It’s made up.
So I am an ignorant fool because I don’t believe what you believe? You know what that makes you, a bully, someone that is more ignorant than I am.
anybody ever heard of a little thing called the 10th amendment to the Bill of Rights?
This is weird that NIT even ran a piece on this beings that it was not local, other major news outlets already covered this, and same sex marriage is already legal in Iowa. I guess NIT covers what it deems newsworthy (around the staff’s schedule of course). No I am not PL.
what a whinner, I’ve seen NIT run stories from all over the world. You’ve just got a stick up your ass about NIT.
First thing we saw this morning. Very hot topic; it was bound to get a lot of play. Why not cover it? And you’re right, we cover what we can within our resources.
sad as to what our country has evolved into. I think liberalism has finally managed to sink the ship.
Free at last…… thank God Almighty…….Free at last!
Sodom and Gomorrah
Not quite. More like Freedom and Liberty
@Maybe-Only 2% of the gays want to get married anyway. It sure seems like a waste of resources when we all know the end is near.
@Jed-God almighty is not on your side on this issue. You are dealing with Satan himself.
