Virginia Foxx, a Republican says that Matthew Shepard’s death was not a hate crime on April 29. What is a hate crime if that was not it? People are so blind to hate that they lie and make up excuses.
Vermont has now joined the states that allow same sex marriages. The vote was 2/3 in favor of same sex marriage. This makes Vermont up there with Iowa ( just the other day) California and of course Massachusetts. It will take one at a time, but eventually all states will have to agree that redefining marriage and prohibiting same sex marriages will be a thing of the pass. It is the step in the right direction for all gay and lesbian couples.
Which state will be next to realize that banning same sex marriages is unconstitutional and allow the marriage between two people no matter what their sexual orientation.
The court in Iowa has say that same sex marriages are legal and they cannot prohibit same sex couples from marrying. This is great news for those residents of Iowa that want to make their commitment to each other legal. They can now marry and be recognized as a married couple. If you want to get married and live in Iowa, your marriage will be recognized and you will be allowed the same benefits that married couples are entitled to and need. This is another step forward. Now we wait for other court rulings about same sex marriages. It is only a matter of time before other states follow suit.
