Same-sex marriage in Iowa
Same-sex marriage has been legally recognized in Iowa since a decision of the Iowa Supreme Court on April 3, 2009. Marriage license became available to same-sex couples on April 27.
In 2005, six same-sex couples who were denied marriage licenses in Iowa filed a lawsuit in Polk County. In 2007, the Polk County District Court ruled in favor of the couples in ''Varnum v. Brien''. On April 3, 2009, a unanimous Iowa Supreme Court upheld the lower court's ruling, making Iowa the fourth U.S. state to legalize same-sex marriage, after Massachusetts, California, and Connecticut.
==Background==
In 1998, following court decisions on same-sex unions in other states that suggested that denying the right to marry to same-sex couples was incompatible with the equal protection clause of a state constitution like Iowa's, Iowa legislators who hoped to avoid a similar court challenge tried without success to pass a statute to prohibit marriage on the part of gay and lesbian couples.
