Critical Iowa subcommittee hearing on amendment to ban same-sex marriage to be held Monday, 1/24/11

From oneiowa comes an alert that Monday, an Iowa House of Representatives Judiciary Subcommittee will discuss House Joint Resolution 6, which seeks to deny any legal recognition to gay couples. The proposed amendment would ban marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships, harming thousands of Iowa families.
We need supporters of equality present at the hearing demonstrating the positive effect of marriage in the lives of Iowans, and showing this bill will harm thousands of real Iowan gay and lesbian couples and their families. Please join us!
