Opponents of same-sex marriage launched a campaign today to re-ban gay marriage in Iowa.

Click to use The Times' interactive map to track changes in rights for gay couples in the U.S. since 2000. The National Organization for Marriage, which was active in getting Proposition 8 approved by voters in California, sent out an appeal for donations to run advertisements on behalf of political candidates who oppose same-sex marriage.

It said the first ad would support Republican Stephen Burgmeier, who supports putting the issue of same-sex marriage to a vote in the Hawkeye State. He is up for election in less than two weeks.

In April, Iowa became the third state in the nation to allow same-sex marriage after the state Supreme Court ruled that a law defining marriage as only between men and women was unconstitutional.

And they might, as long as people keep voting Democrat. No matter how ‘conservative’ the democrat says he/she is, they are democrat and will give the numbers to the libs.

This cancer will spread until society takes a stand. To do so we must return to our solid family values.

"Iowa" allowed nothing, and "became" nothing. It was a bunch of unelected judicial activists who did the dirty deed, and one can only hope that eligible Iowa voters will show at least as much backbone as their Left-Coast California brothers and sisters showed in amending their state's constitution. Iowa has an aging population who must (given Obama's declaration of war on seniors) by now understand how Left hand washes the other in Democrat politics.
