Happy 4th Anniversary to Marriage Equality in Iowa!

| Wild Roses, the Iowa state flower: and the perfect 4th anniversary gift. |
On April 27th, 2009, my home state, Iowa, began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The Human Rights Campaign and One Iowa released this video to celebrate:
The thought behind the message is lovely; however, I'm a little surprised to find out any Iowans were involved the production. The place described seems to be a DC lobbyist's idea of a generic, Midwestern farm state. "The cows still get milked"? Seriously? Still, bless their hearts, they meant well and that's what counts.
Congratulations to the 6,000 same-sex couples who have married in Iowa in the last four years. The next step is getting your families to be recognized in all fifty states, and that day is coming. You know, "the arc of the moral universe..." and all.
