Stepping

Iowa legalized gay marriage today, which I am pretty excited about. It's funny, though, that Iowa did so before California. I have relatives in Iowa, and I'm not sure they're very happy about this. But it was a court ruling, which could explain some of this. After all, a court made it legal here at one point.

Anyway, I kind of feel that victories like this are not steps ahead so much as steps to the level where they should be... does that make sense? This is a particularly exciting event, though, because Iowa is not where you might expect this to happen. This is becoming less radical, perhaps? I hope so.
