According to an article in the Des Moines Register, an Iowa court decision will be made tomorrow morning that will tip the scales in the gay rights movement in the United States.
In the case of Varnum vs. Brien, six same-sex couples in Iowa were denied marriage licenses in 2005 by the office of Polk County Recorder Timothy Brien. The couples filed a lawsuit against Brien, and while Polk County District Judge Robert Hansen sided with the them, he suspended his decision until the case could be heard by the higher court.
If the Iowa Supreme court finds in favor of the six couples, Iowa will become the first state in the Midwest to allow same-sex marriage, and the fourth in the nation.
Here's a video to chronicle all the new strides in the gay rights movement.
