Not in his state you don't!

Meet Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa):
He claims now Iowa has equal marriage rights for all people that his state is going to become a Mecca for gays who want to get married. And he's dead set against that happening. He doesn't want any gays coming to his state during a recession and spending any of their filthy money on things like wedding cakes, wedding dresses, tuxedos, limos, hotel rooms, catering, etc, etc.. He doesn't want people to go to shops in Iowa and spend any money on wedding presents for their gay friends who choose to get married.

So Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) says a hale and hearty "Fuck you!" to people who own flower shops, hotels with banquet rooms, ministers who might make a buck off marrying people, caterers, party and event planners, and to anyone connected with weddings in Iowa. No, you can't make any money off those gays in his state. He'd rather you go spend your money in Massachusetts and Connecticut because the economy in Iowa is doing fine thanks, the merchants and shop owners across his fine state don't need any of your gay wedding business.

It would be sweet irony if there was a waiting list a mile long of gay couples who want to get married in his district. Let the exodus of gays who want to get married in Iowa begin!

Rep. King can kiss my big gay hairy ass!

Hmmm, Keokuk, Iowa a short drive to the west and Davenport, Iowa a short drive to the north, decisions, decisions! Maybe I'll charter a bus; we can all hit the casinos at the same time.

They call that 'cutting off your nose to spite your face.' Of course these rednecks just don't even think about the big picture anyway.

He can have a temper tantrum all he likes, but I believe the vote was unanimous. It's not his decision.

Let's convince him to quit in protest.

Believe me, those Iowans will be more than happy to take in all that green - they know a good deal when they see one. Evolution baby, Evolution.

While I'm happy Iowa is more evolved than most states, I still have no desire to go there for any reason.
Hell, if Heidi Klum herself wanted to marry me, but we had to do it in Iowa, I'd have to tell her auf weidersehen.

I lived in Iowa for six months - and as a born Minnesota girl it pains me to say that Iowa is a NICE place. I lived in Ottumwa and it is a beautiful town with rolling hils a river and when the magnolias bloom along the avenues it is heaven. I had no fear walking around and inhaling this lovely scent any time of day.

Plus, my boyfriends uncle ran a really cool gay bar there. Ask for a bloody mary - they rock.

John -

Although it may be a bit more of a drive, I suggest your big hair gay ass go to Dubuque to get married. It has a quaint little downtown. And hell, if the weather is bad, there's always the riverboat casino!

Just my thought.

Here in Massachusetts, many of my friends are thinking of marrying, renewing their vows, or celebrating their anniversaries. Sometimes all three.

Thanks for the swell ideas, Representative King!

(BTW: Great place you have here, Doctor.)

That's right, Rep. King, your state will be overrun with couples doing away with all the wood paneling in the state and forcing each and every Iowan to accesorize!

Live in fear, Mister King, your tie will be the first thing to go!

Anyone in Iowa who doesn't want gays flocking there should be hoping that gay marriage become legal everywhere. That will allow everybody to just live and be married wherever they want.
