Apparently the Iowa Supreme Court thinks that not changing a millennia old definition of marriage is unconstitutional. Evidently they felt the need to overturn the will of the people and impose their own personal morality on the people of Iowa. You can claim that it's about equal rights, that unlike heterosexuals, homosexuals aren't given the right to marry who they want, but heterosexuals (or any other sexual group) don't have that right either. Everyone's rights with regards to marriage are to marry a consenting human being of legal age of the opposite sex; both homosexuals and heterosexuals have these rights. Allowing them marry thus becomes a question of morality, and the Iowa Supreme Court apparently felt their morality was more important than that of the people.
