Iowa Voters Like Gay Marriage Ban But Reject Amending Constitution
365gay.com
(Des Moines, Iowa) A new poll suggests that most Iowans want to keep the state's ban on gay marriage in place.
That is if they can be bothered to care about the issue at all.
The poll by the Des Moines Register finds that nearly two-thirds of Iowans want to keep the Defense of Marriage Act as it is.
But less than half want the ban enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
The
paper's Iowa Poll finds that only 25 percent support lifting the
state's ban on gay marriage – in comparison to 65 percent who want it
to stay in place. Iowa is one of 39 states that outlaws gay marriage.

Well,
good. Glad to hear that the people of Iowa are liberal-minded
enough to prefer their discrimination at the state level only. So,
tell me again why incumbent Ken Veenstra lost his own Republican
primary?

because Veenstra's vile attacks on gays and lesbians (in particular Jonathon Wilson) went well beyond acceptable political discourse and he offended the sensibilities of even those who agree with him in principal.

Thanks. It was kind of a rhetorical question, but it is good to know that vile attacks are unacceptable to most Iowans.
