In honor of the Iowa Supreme Court's pro-SSM opinion, here is something I posted back in October of 2005.
Reading Sameness Into Diversity.
On the day that two twosomes wed, there were two grooms and two brides. They tried the knot with unconsummated neutrality.
As mated pairs who mated not, the two men lacked wives, but as an individual each husband espoused the other.
The couple of women too espoused, one the other, and neither now has a husband and neither now is a wife.
There were two husbands and there were two wives but the presence of a husband was irrelevant where the wives were doubled. The doubled husbands made irrelevant their lack of two brides.
The Partner A and the Partner B of each pair segregated in bliss and in sorrow. He was husbanded to another husband, and she was wifed to another wife, but husbands and wives they neither were though they aspired as much in neutrality.
Although sexual orienation is irrelevant to the marriage statute and the state constitution of Iowa, the Supreme Court mentioned sexual orientation about 100 times, gay(s) about 80 times, and lesbian(s) about 75 times. The opinon was NOT about marriage but about identity politics.
More later.
