Lambda Legal's Marriage Equality Victory in Iowa

On April 27, the state of Iowa began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, following Lambda Legal's victory in Varnum v. Brien.

In a powerful unanimous decision, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that denying marriage to same-sex couples in the state is unconstitutional. Iowa now joins Massachusetts and Connecticut in offering marriage licenses without discrimination based on couples' sexual orientation.
