IA: Anti Marriage Equality Rally Planned for Tuesday in Des Moines

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

Iowans who want a vote on banning gay marriage will rally at the Iowa Capitol on Tuesday. The marriage rally is set for 11:30 a.m. on the west steps of the building, according to Bob Vander Plaats of the Family Leader, a social conservative advocacy group.

One guest will be Roy Moore, the chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court who defied an order from a federal judge to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from the inside the state’s judicial building. Alabama’s court of the judiciary unanimously removed Moore in 2003 for placing himself above the law.

Moore, a Republican who believes that God is the sovereign source of the country’s laws, has visited Iowa several times in recent months, making appearances with U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, and state Sen. Kent Sorenson, R-Indianola.
