Opponent of Gay Marriage Taken To Iowan Ethics Committee
I tagged this the other day as something to write about and post. To what ends will people go to try and stop gays and lesbians from equal rights? I guess it could be argued that ethics and morals are 2 different things, but I’m of the belief that acting unethically is breakdown of moral action. In other words, if you are acting morally- using morality as your justification for your actions- to act unethically is hypocritical. The willingness to advocate breaking the law/ going against the law is astounding.
In most of the verbiage written about Iowa, and definitely all of the verbiage written by the opponents to marriage equality, the fact that the original law was deemed unconstitutional by the Iowa Supreme Court seems to have been forgotten. I get it that they are opposed to same-sex marriage. I can’t wrap my head around the reality that they want what they want at any cost- even if it includes unconstitutional laws or breaking the laws. Our prisons are full of people who want what they want irrespective of the law. And this is different?
I would never want a government where all elected officials think exactly the same. I want an elected body of officials to represent the diverse view of all people, and to question and disagree with each other as they sort out good laws that protect the rights of all. I just think it should be done within the boundaries of acting ethically and lawfully. Is that crazy?
