The ruling explicitly does not affect “the freedom of a religious organization to define marriage it solemnizes as unions between a man and a woman,” the justices stressed.
You are free to go to a church of homophobes or indeed hetrophobes. In that case you'd just have to get your variously-phobic hands in your church and off our nice clean rule of law dear, you'd only stain it.
Seriously, what? Iowa, we had no idea. We thought they were like Kansas, or Oklahoma, where they teach Creationism in the schools. Turns out, Iowa rules. Plus, corn is awesome.
Yeah, it does sound like Iowa will end up with a Prop-8 style amendment. Which is dumb, but it sounds like 2012 at the earliest, so uh, get married soon?

that's an odd way of phrasing it - does this law make poly marriages legal, too? because that would be awesome!
