Unfortunately for Republicans in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District, their current proposed platform is pretty nuts. Constant references to the U.N’s Agenda 21, calls to repeal any and all protections and rights for LGBT Iowans, anti-vaxxer language and an end to birthright citizenship are just a few highlights.

One of the bigger issues that jumps out is gay marriage and the rights of LGBT Iowans. It’s probably no surprise that Republican activists want to repeal the gay marriage decision, though they make extra effort to ensure those transgendereds don’t find a way in:
<snip>
6.13. We support the current Iowa code Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and strongly oppose the Iowa Supreme Court OPINION in the case of Varnum vs. Brien (2009) being taken as rule of law overriding the DOMA law currently on the books.

And they want a special order by the Governor to immediately stop gay marriage in Iowa:

10.30. We call upon the Governor to uphold the laws of the State of Iowa by placing a stay on the issuance of licenses for gay marriages until the legislature addresses the issue.
