Iowa does not require residency in order to get married in Iowa. I'm looking forward to a MUCH busier airport with gay couples everywhere coming here to wed. Oh, Happy Times (Long Time Coming) :) P.S. The thanks belong to many, but you can send them to <a href="http://www.oneiowa.org" rel="nofollow">One Iowa</a>. One Iowa is certainly the most effective GLBT organization in Iowa, and instrumental in this victory. They coordinated the efforts, ran phone banks, fundraising, everything. I'm not affiliated with them, other than as a grateful constituent and volunteer, but would love to have a lot of people shoot them a "Congrats", "Thank You!".

Wyoming law doesn't allow same sex marriages, but it does require the state to recognize same sex unions from other states. A few months ago the Wyoming legislature rejected a Prop 8 style amendment.

It bothers me that Maryland, my sapphire Blue, progressive Maryland, failed when a midwestern purple state succeeded. Good on the Court for a unanimous decision.
