Okay look let me explain the same thing from a different angle. Back in the day (however many thousands of years ago) when marriage was established, maybe around biblical times, let's say for the sake of argument it was established so that man and woman can marry, and for that reason. Now on that basis man and woman and every person who wants to has the equal protection/equal rights they want because man can marry woman. If you want folk to marry you
have to follow those laws unless you actually change them, which you guys just can't do. This rulling is gonna be appealed and the Iowa appeals courts are gonna overturn it for sure. Unless you guys wanna try legislating something completely new from scratch which is your equivelant to marriage then you're gonna lose everytime on this issue.
