Is it your belief that no such marriages occurred in Iowa?You perverted dork, you're making my point. I've already pointed out any eligible couple in the U.S. can marry in Iowa. That's 250 million Americans.
And in 6 years, not one gas entered into such a marriage.
You described Iowa's situation a, "mess."
Looks like the only mess is the one betwixt your ears.
Prove none have dumbass.
You're asking someone to prove a negative...and then, ironically, calling them a dumbass.
It is you who must provide the evidence of your claims, bloviating troll.
No you fat old hag. I never made any claim to begin with. Faun did. That no same sex family couple had ever married in Iowa.
So Faun, you and SeaBitch work this stuff out betwixt each other. Maybe 69, to rid yourselves of that awful frustration you both seem to have......
And get back to me.....
You made the claim they could...and were told to produce some. You can't because you are nothing but a bloviating troll and an anti gay bigot. Your slippery slope is no more real today than it was when someone said:
‘[If interracial couples have a right to marry], all our marriage acts forbidding intermarriage between persons within certain degrees of consanguinity are void.’
‘The underlying factors that constitute justification for laws against miscegenation closely parallel those which sustain the validity of prohibitions against incest and incestuous marriages.’
‘The State’s prohibition of interracial marriage . . . stands on the same footing as the prohibition ofpolygamous marriage, or incestuous marriage, or the prescription of minimum ages at which people may marry, and the prevention of the marriage of people who are mentally incompetent.’
Incorrect, I was told to produce proof of my claim, since my claim was the legality, not the participation, I backed up MY CLAIM with this. Read it and weep.
Look at what you have:
A logical fallacy
An instruction pamphlet from a print shop in Spensor, Iowa, which actually does not disagree with my argument that same sex family members can Marry.
And a proposed piece of legislation making same sex family marriage illegal (because it's obviously legal now)
Then there are my sources, which include:
The law itself:
The opinion of 5 Attorneys:
And 2 independent sources that deal with a.) the law and b.) Marriage.
Let's get started, shall we with my supportive evidence, since you have none?

Iowa Code Sec. 595.19 lists "void" marriages. This section doesn't prohibit marriages between a woman and her grandmother's brother.

1. Marriages between the following persons who are related by
blood are void:
a. Between a man and his father's sister, mother's sister,
daughter, sister, son's daughter, daughter's daughter, brother's
daughter, or sister's daughter.
b. Between a woman and her father's brother, mother's

c. Between first cousins.
2. Marriages between persons either of whom has a husband or wife
living are void, but, if the parties live and cohabit together after
the death or divorce of the former husband or wife, such marriage
shall be valid.
You and Faun continue to CLAIM it is not legal because because I can't produce names. A complete logical falicy.
You and Fawn have zero supportive evidence to back up the pamphlet you supplied as the proof (or lack thereof) that same sex family members can't Marry.
I have at least five attorneys that support my argument (many more if you count the members of the National Association of District Attorney, link supplied earlier in this thread), two independent web pages and the law itself.
Now go find some supporting evidence that same sex family marriage is illegal in Iowa. So far all I've seen is moaning, groaning and crying.
