The window was a narrow one, but two University of Iowa undergrads played it perfectly and became the state's first legally married same-sex couple.
CNN has the story here.
Twenty same-sex couples were waiting at the Polk County courthouse doors Friday morning, waiting to apply for marriage licenses, following a court's order striking down the state's man/woman only marriage law. The judge put a stay on his own order late Friday morning, but not before Sean Fritz and Tim McQuillan got their license and were married by a local Unitarian minister.
Fritz said: "We're both in our undergrad programs and we thought maybe we'd put it off until applying for graduate school, but when this opportunity came up, we thought maybe we wouldn't get the opportunity again."
Amazing how social change frequently comes at the hands of students acting on issues that matter most to them personally.
