A very happy first day of legal marriage to the same-sex couples in Iowa who are getting hitched today, and a special congratulations to the children whose parents can now marry.
It is worth noting, of course, that these marriages become worthless as soon as the families cross state lines or have anything to do with the federal government. Non-biological parents should still do a second-parent adoption in order to have their parentage recognized in other jurisdictions. Still, this is an important and welcome first step, won through a lot of hard work by a lot of people. Enjoy the victory, and enjoy your cake!
