Phillips applauds Iowa Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage

Legalization should be replicated in Washington

“Iowa’s legalization of gay marriage brings justice to gay couples who have been prevented by discrimination from experiencing the joys, privileges, and securities of marriage. This is a great ruling and a great day. If it can happen in Iowa, this brings new hope for the day that the citizens of Washington will be free to marry who they choose. When that day comes, Washington families will prosper, and justice and equality will prevail.”
