Same-sex marriage in Iowa

Well if we're talking about reality, it's going to be at least a generation or three before discrimination tones down.

I mean honestly, you think fully legalized marriage for all would just suddenly stop discrimination where civil unions wouldn't?

The other day I was helping a customer rent some movies, and among them was Milk (movie 'bout first openly gay elected official in US, starring Sean Penn, I'm sure you've heard of it). The man turns to his wife and says, "Hey, this is that movie about the fags. I don't want to watch a movie about fags."

Yeah. Legalized marriage will do nothing to end that. For a few decades.
