"Judge Robert Hanson said he issued the stay about noon. Earlier, he had told
the county attorney to instruct the Polk County recorder to stop accepting
same-sex marriage applications. By the time Recorder Julie Haggerty stopped
taking applications around 11 a.m., her office had accepted 21 applications."
Now the real battle begins. I think that Iowa could be the tipping point for granting rights for homosexuals to marry. When states like Mass. grant similar rights to homosexuals it almost makes it harder for other states to follow suit. Mass. has such a strong reputation as being liberal that to follow its example it to invite the an attack from the right of following the an extremist agenda. However when a state like Iowa changes sides, it makes it easier for other states to follow its example, because Iowa is not know to be liberal.
