Four Iowa Democrats Attempt to Force Vote on Marriage Ban

The Iowa House and Senate with a large Democratic majority has succesfully eliminated attempts by conservative members who want to vote on eliminating same-sex marriage. Among those who attempted to force a vote to ban gay marriage are four Democrats who went against their own party! The legislation has failed but came within 3 votes of being passed.

Iowa Needs Our Support Now!

Right-wing extremists are resorting to underhanded tactics in an attempt to undermine legislative leadership and take away the freedom to marry! While legislative leadership stood firm this morning, extremists are attempting to overthrow the House chair and push an anti-marriage amendment to the floor!

Tell them to stand firm with legislative leadership and oppose this distracting and divisive move. With all the challenges Iowa is facing, it's time for our elected officials to get back to work for Iowa families!

Thank Iowa Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal for Supporting Marriage Equality!

The Iowa state senate majority leader Mike Gronstal gave a beautiful speech to show his opposition to a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. His impassioned speech is a clear indicator that he will not allow an anti-gay marriage bill to come to the floor.



Please thank Senator Gronstal for supporting marriage equality and for opposing a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
