Iowa

The first same-sex marriage was performed today between Melisa Keeton and Shelley Wolfe. The legalization of same-sex marriage in Iowa is so progressive because it is the first state that is not in the "liberal coast." Hopefully, more and more states will reconize that marriage is an institution of love. Contrary to what many says, marriage is defined by humankind, not by God. It wasn't until the 9/10 century that the church even got involved with marriage. Before then it was seen more of a business transation.
