One common thread through the Letters to Mr. Branstad we've received, is how proud people are of their state granting marriage equality ahead of most of our country.

DMU Assistant Professor Julia Moffitt wrote a letter to Republican gubernatorial candidate as part of our Letters to Mr. Branstad effort.

Dear Governor,

I am married to my husband of 29 years and I cannot imagine being told by my state or my community that we could not legally marry! Love between two adults is just that.....love between two adults. Man or woman, gay or lesbian, love is love. Thank you, in advance, for honoring Iowa's recent history regarding the right of all to legally marry!

Here's another example of the outpouring of support for same-sex couples in Iowa. Do your part: Send your letter today!
