On Friday, the Iowa Supreme Court struck down their state's gay marriage ban. Today, the Vermont Legislature legalized gay marriage.

It's been a great week for fairness. We still have a long way to go: 29 states have constitutional amendments banning gay marriage.

I'm sure the right wing are beating the fund-raising drums for all they're worth. We can expect more Proposition 8-style backlashes, I'm afraid.

But the news still made my day.
