Iowans Against the Discrimination of Same-Sex Couples

We, the Undersigned, do not support the following resolutions as we find them discriminatory in nature:

1- SJR 2002 -- Veenstra
A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa regarding marriage in the State of Iowa.

2- SJR 2005 -- Schuerer and others
A joint resolution petitioning Congress to propose an amendment to the Constitution of the United States defining marriage as the legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife.

3- HJR 2002 -- DeBoef and others
A joint resolution petitioning Congress to propose an amendment to the Constitution of the United States defining marriage as the legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife.

and

We, the Undersigned, feel that this is a civil rights issue and passing an amendment such as the above stated would encourage discrimination. We feel such an amendment is prejudicial in nature.

We feel that under no circumstances should a single group of Americans should be singled out to be discriminated against as this proposed amendment does.

We understand that same-sex couples come across legal boundaries that married couples do not, such as health coverage, emergency health decisions and visitations in hospitals, and inheritance rights. We feel this is immoral in nature and should not be allowed.
