Iowa joined Massachusetts and Connecticut as the third state in the U.S. to allow same sex marriage after their Supreme Court struck down a decade old ban. Vermont's House and Senate voted on a gay marriage bill this week as well, sending it to Governor Jim Davis, who unfortunately has said he will veto the bill. Although not part of the U.S. there was also heartening news from Sweden where gay marriage will become legal on May 1 of this year. There was dark news as well this week, as the foes of same sex marriage already said they will seek to put a referendum to the voters of Iowa to ban same sex marriage.
Those of us in California continue to wait on the Supreme Court here to rule on the challenge to Proposition 8. The Supreme Court must make a ruling by early June. So we wait patiently keeping our fingers crossed, our hearts lightened by good news in other parts of the country and the world.
