Is Iowa Smarter Than California?

By now we have all heard about the Iowa Supreme Court's unanimous ruling stating that barring same-sex couples from marriage is un-constitutional, but will we be able to keep it here?


That is the question that everyone is waiting to have answered. Already the same groups that organized Proposition 8 in California have started a similar movement in Iowa. Wow why can't they just let the gays have a few weeks of peace before all hell breaks loose and the major protests start. And another thing, why can't people just leave the issue of gay marriage alone. Even though you may personally feel it is wrong, it's not going to affect you in ANY way if two other people, who truly love each other, get married.



I hate it when people say marriage is between a man and a woman. This is not true at all, marriage is nothing but a commitment between two people who want to show their exclusive devotion for each by being in a committed relationship. There are plenty of men and women that get married without being in love, for example the pregnant eighteen year old getting married because of pressure from her parents even though she never loved the guy that got her pregnant in the first place and might have thought of her relationship with him as one of a casual nature. If two gay or lesbians love each other and have the same devotion for each other as a straight couple does, shouldn't they be allowed to be married if they choose to? Especially if they are going to give each other more devotion than a uncommitted couple that just got married out of wedlock.

I have a similar hate for Christians that say that gay-marriage or even homosexual relationships are against the Bible. People are so hypocritic, the Bible tells them to love everyone, yet they hate gays. I believe the only reason that the Bible considers homosexuality wrong is because of the age that the Old Testament happened in. In those days, people were concerned about making the population grow and as of today two guys or two girls cannot have a child. Therefore back in those days it was quite logical that homosexuality might be looked down on. But in a liberal society like today, where we have billions of people on the Earth, there is truly little wrong with that. We have also begun research swapping DNA from a sperm into an egg cell and then having a donor mother carry the baby. We have to be careful with this because males have both Y and X chromosomes and it isn't possible to live without an X chromosome. Each sex cell carries either an X or a Y chromosome, and if two YY chromosome come together then the fetus will die. Therefore the technical probability of two guys having a living child is 75%, a 66.6% chance of having a male and a 33.3% chance of having a female. Two females would have a 0% chance of having a male and a 100% chance of a female. Thus our gender scheme might become unbalanced.
