So this is kind of a good news-bad news-good news thing.

The Des Moines Register recently commissioned a poll to determine attitudes toward marriage equality in Iowa since the Supreme Court ruling earlier this year. The good news is that 92% of the respondents said that marriage equality had absolutely NO effect on their lives whatsoever.

BUT, in the same poll, 41% of the respondents said they would vote for a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, and override the Supreme Court's decision. So, let me get this straight Mr. and Mrs. 41%. You admit that marriage equality has absolutely NO effect on your life whatsoever, but you would STILL vote to take away the right to marry from your fellow citizens? What kind of hateful asshole are you?????

The other bit of good news is that 40% would vote NO on said constitutional amendment, and who would have thought that percentage would be so high, in Iowa of all places? The other good news is that the Iowa constitution is very difficult to amend. By the time any amendment gets to the voters, if ever, I'm sure attitudes will have changed even more.
