Activists Rally Fayette County Over Same Sex Marriage Status
About 100 activists gathered on the Fayette County Courthouse lawn urging Recorder Karen Ford to postpone issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples until Iowa voters decide the issue. The group plans a petition with roughly 300 signatures opposing the April 3 Iowa Supreme Court ruling and asserting the Constitution and state law ban same sex unions.
