Let Us Vote, But We May Not Listen

Sigh. From The Gazette:

DES MOINES – If Iowa voters got the chance to weigh in on the marriage issue and decided to let stand a court decision legalizing same-sex marriage in Iowa, that outcome would not be the end of the issue, traditional marriage proponents said Tuesday.

Gov. Vander Plaats will simply issue an executive order voiding the vote. It's really the only answer to electoral tyranny by unelected voters.

Bryan English, spokesman for Iowa Family Policy Center Action, said, if given the chance, he is “quite convinced” the decision of Iowa voters on a proposed constitutional amendment would be similar to 31 other states that have affirmed marriage as only between one man and one woman.

However, he said, traditional marriage forces would look to other options in the event that Iowa voters rejected an effort to amend the state constitution because the moral principles at play are “immovable.”

“As a Christian organization, regardless of what happens, we would continue to articulate that homosexual activity is immoral behavior,” English said in an interview. “Our calling is to clearly proclaim the truth in the public arena and, if the marriage amendment came to the people and failed, that would not change the foundational nature of the immorality of homosexual activity, so we would still be obligated to articulate that in the public arena.”
