Sodomy Licenses

Nathan Tucker, writing in the Iowa Republican web site yesterday:

Iowa’s lack of a marriage residency requirement has caused Iowa to become, in the words of Representative Steve King, a “gay Mecca” ever since the Iowa Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in April of last year. To date, those out-of-state gay couples who come to Iowa to be married return to states that do not recognize such marriages. All that will change next year when one of Iowa’s neighboring states will begin to recognize gay marriages performed in Iowa as valid.

On Friday, the Illinois Senate passed a civil union bill by a vote of 32-24-1, the day after it passed the House by a one-vote margin. The bill is all but certain to be signed by Governor Pat Quinn, one of its most ardent supporters, and will take effect June 1, 2011...

...This likely means an influx of Illinoisans crossing the border to obtain their sodomy licenses that will, for the first time, be recognized as valid when they return home. So far in 2010, 95 of the 223 same-sex marriage licenses issued in Davenport have gone to residents of Illinois, even though those licenses currently aren’t worth the paper they are printed on.

This is the problem with part of the Republican Party in Iowa, coming out and saying shit like "sodomy licenses" in a column.  What is that?  Why is Nathan Tucker still obsessed with gay marriage right now?  Aren't there bigger fish to fry than bitching about a bunch of queers from Illinois driving to Iowa to be pronounced Adam & Steve?  Have you seen the size of some of these lesbians lately?  It's a wonder that our infrastructure doesn't fall into the Mississippi River with the inevitable busloads of butch dykes ready to tie the knot and insert the strapon.  Dear oh dear, this means that Iowa's cake decorators will see an upswing in business.  Probably so much business that they'll earn above $250,000 a year so they'll become "rich" and cost the State coffers money.

When are the cavemen Republicans in Iowa going to get their priorities straight?  They only seem to want to have one thing straight, and it's never fiscal priorities.  They're so obsessed with things being straight that they turn themselves into pretzels about it.

Nathan Tucker, get over it.  Gay marriage is the law in Iowa.  It's not the way I would have wanted it made into law, but it's the law now.  Focus on bigger things, would you please?
