Kimmy wants to write discrimination into the Iowa Constitution [View all]

Ugh

Iowa’s governor appeared to signal support for an amendment to the state’s constitution that would ban same-sex marriage this week.

During a news conference in Pella on Tuesday, Governor Kim Reynolds was asked about a proposed plank in the state Republican party’s platform calling for a repeal of any laws that allow marriage between same-sex couples.

The Iowa Supreme Court ruled same-sex marriage legal in the state back in 2009, but Reynolds says she’d prefer the issue be put to a vote.

I absolutely hate her and the rest of the Iowa GOP.
