If you're gay and with kids, take note on what is going on in Iowa's campsite/park.
Bigot senator Merlin Bartz does not wish to "recognize" gay couples and their kiddos by the Iowa's state park agencies, specifically if the gay family wants to use the campgrounds:
The rates or fees for camp sites are the same, whether you’re a family or a non-family, but the state allows families to put up more than one tent on a camp site. “They’re changing their language even though the state legislature has not had a debate on this particular issue,” Bartz says. Bartz is a member of the Legislature’s Administrative Rules Review Committee which meets on Monday. He’s asked D.N.R. officials to explain their proposal at that meeting. Bartz says he wants to be “vigilant” and keep state agencies from writing rules that extend new benefits to gay couples. “A lot of the advocates of gay marriage in Iowa have said, ‘It doesn’t affect anything. Nothing has changed,’” Bartz says. “The reality of it is that everything is changing.” Bartz concedes the D.N.R. might be sued if they fail to ensure “family” policies for camping apply to gay couples, although Bartz says the state may be sued by gay marriage opponents if the rule is changed.
A vote will occur in the summer on this park rule.
Since when does a VOTE need to be taken on who and who cannot visit a park and use campgrounds to pitch a tent. That's bigoted, discriminatory and smells a lot like segregation!!
Fuck them. We say: descend the gay masses in droves this summer to Iowa using their parks and campgrounds. We're here, we're queer AND we're not going ANYWHERE!
