Iowa’s only openly gay legislator, State Sen. Matt McCoy, has recorded and released a YouTube video reacting to today’s Iowa Supreme Court decision granting marriage rights to same-sex couples.  In the video, he explains why he does not expect the court’s decision to be overturned by a constitutional amendment.  He expresses pride in the Hawkeye state, and at the end of the video, he invites gay and straight couples from out of state to “think about coming to Iowa to get married”:

A UCLA law school study last year estimated that allowing same-sex marriage in Iowa would bring in an additional $5.3 million in state revenue each year. Iowa does not require residency for the purposes of granting a marriage license.
