It was fun while it lasted..

Which was about 24 hours.
Iowa, Iowa, Iowa. It was too good to be true.
Thursday afternoon, Polk County judge Robert Hanson temporarily cleared the way for gay couples across the state to apply for marriage licenses in Polk County when he ruled that Iowa's 1998 Defense of Marriage Act, which allowed marriage between a man and a woman only, violated the state constitutional rights of due process and equal protection of six same-sex couples who had sued.
Dennis Johnson, a lawyer for the six gay couples who sued after being denied marriage licenses in 2005, said Iowa has a long history of aggressively protecting civil rights in cases of race and gender. The Defense of Marriage Act contradicts previous rulings regarding civil rights and is simply mean-spirited, he said.

A dozen gay and lesbian couples were waiting at the county recorder's office when it opened Friday morning.
By 11 a.m., 20 had applied for marriage licenses when recorder Julie Haggerty announced that she had been instructed to stop accepting the applications. Hanson told the Associated Press about an hour and half later that he had formally stayed his ruling.
So.....another tease, but progress still , I reckon...

By the way ..."I'M NOT GAY! I'M NOT GAY!"
