Statement on the Iowa Supreme Court Ruling PDF Print E-mail

Here is my statement about today's landmark ruling.

As Chair of the NBJC Religious Advisory Committee, I applaud the Iowa Supreme Court’s ruling today that ruled in favor of same-gender marriage.  Today, we witnessed the cascading waters of justice restore hope in the parched souls of countless numbers of same-gender couples. This ruling restores my belief in de Tocqueville’s “Tyranny of the Majority,” because the court, through a dispassionate examination, embraced the principles that are the bedrock of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence: There are no exceptions to equal protection under the law.

It  is my prayer that the California Supreme Court will follow the progressive stand taken by the Iowa Supreme Court in its upcoming ruling on Proposition 8.

The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of great moral crises maintain their neutrality
