Iowa senator on Vander Plaats / Brown stance: 'hot air'

State Sen. Thomas
Courtney, D-Burlington

State Sen. Thomas Courtney, D-Burlington, scoffed at assertions by Bob Vander Plaats and Brian Brown that three years of gay marriages in Iowa have hurt the state. Courtney, father of three and grandfather of four, was quoted in the Ames Patch:
“It’s just hot air is all it really is. I’m not gay, but I don’t mind that two people that love each other get married. To me, it’s just a hate race,” Courtney said. “If it’s against God’s law, that will be straightened out some other time — not in the Iowa Legislature.”
