Progressive San Fransisco has been beaten to the punch by Iowa, of all places, in legalising same sex marriages:-
We shouldn't blame Iowa. That state somewhere there in the middle of flyover country has simply stepped up where we've stepped out. Just a few weeks ago Iowa's Supreme Court legalized same sex marriage, while our SF-based big legal kahuna is still diddling around on the issue. Brown University sociology professor, John Logan, even believes Iowa's first mover position on this could be the catalyst for a much broader national shift. "Iowa's status as a largely rural, Midwest state," the AP paraphrased Mr. Logan as saying, "could enforce the argument that gay marriage is no longer a fringe issue." Wasn't SF supposed to be the pioneer on this, the flying wedge? And here Iowa goes quietly about its business making bigger actual waves on same sex marriage than a bellowing Gavin Newsom. Bronstein at Large : Iowa is the new San Francisco -- Thanks, Gavin?
What is the world coming too?
