...yet it's illegal in most states.
One of the most commong arguments against marriage equality is that the legalization of gay marriage threatens the institution of traditional marriage. But a recent poll conducted by Des Moines Register finds that 92% of Iowans believe that "gay marriage has brought no real change to their lives." The study comes just months after the Iowa Supreme Court's unanimous decision to overturn a 10-year-old ban on same-sex marriage.
The poll finds that Iowans are evenly split in their attitudes toward same-sex marriage

Posted: 9/21/09 at 3:16pmI would LOVE to know exactly how the 8%'s marriages have been affected.

Posted: 9/21/09 at 3:18pmMaybe that 8% is the gay population who are finally able to marry the ones they love.

Posted: 9/21/09 at 3:22pmNope. That 8% are the women who've married gay men, who are now coming out of the closet in droves.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married.

Posted: 9/21/09 at 3:25pmIt has to be one of those two because I still can not come up with, nor can any of the people against gay marriage, one single way it legitimately affects anyone else's lives.

When will people see that denying gay people the right to marry isn't going to make them go away or 'turn straight'? It just doesn't work that way.
I have two older gay friends who have been together thirty some-odd years and only just got married last year in California, right before Prop 8. The only remotely noticeable difference is that they now wear rings on their left hands. I fail to see how that threatens any straight couple's marriage.
