Iowa to become the “gay marriage Mecca”?

I don’t know what happens to these posts. This is the same one I posted yesterday.

April 4, 2009

Sometimes I wonder what these politicians say that never make it to the press. Rep Steve King (R-IA) thinks the Iowa Supreme Court’s ruling approving same-sex marriage was a politically motivated social experiment that will lead to Iowa becoming the “gay marriage Mecca”.

Rep Steve King (R-IA)

KING: This is an unconstitutional ruling and another example of activist judges molding the Constitution to achieve their personal political ends. Iowa law says that marriage is between one man and one woman. Now it is the Iowa legislature’s responsibility to pass the Marriage Amendment to the Iowa Constitution, clarifying that marriage is between one man and one woman, to give the power that the Supreme Court has arrogated to itself back to the people of Iowa. Along with a constitutional amendment, the legislature must also enact marriage license residency requirements so that Iowa does not become the gay marriage Mecca due to the Supreme Court’s latest experiment in social engineering.

It sounds like he’s talking about embryonic stem cell research with that social engineering comment. And how’s Iowa’s economy doing? Think the Iowa Tourist Bureau would mind if Iowa became the gay pilgrim’s Mecca?
