Breaking News: Iowa Supreme Court to hear Marriage Equality Case

On Tuesday morning, December 9th, beginning at 10am Central Time, you can watch history unfold – live – as the Iowa Supreme Court hears oral arguments in a case that could bring marriage equality to the heartland. Six Iowa couples are asking the court to recognize their relationships by affirming the right of lesbian and gay couples to marry.
“The case, Varnum v. Brien, could make Iowa the first state in the Midwest to legalize gay marriage,” University of Iowa law professor Angela Onwuachi-Willig told USA Today.
You can watch the case unfold live online via the website of the Iowa Supreme Court.
