Kate Bornstein's Blog for Teens, Freaks and Other Outlaws

Wait! Is that a heartbeat I hear in the heartland?

There's free rounds of drinks in all the gay bars in Iowa tonight, you betcha. A court has just overturned the Iowa state law that bans same-sex marriage. No, really. Gay marriage has reared it's gorgeous, legal head in Iowa, the US heartland. I'm positively elated.

I've been a huge fan of the Mid-West LGBTIQQA movement for years. That's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, questioning, and allies. In my campus travels around the US for the past dozen years or so, it's been mostly the red states where I've met and had the privilege of working with the some of the most loving, caring dedicated sex positivists and gender anarchists I've ever met. And I just wanted to say YAY FOR IOWA!!! Thank you for living up to my 50's dream of an America based on fair play.
