In oversight, Iowa judge grants lesbian divorce, then lets it stand

Advertisements [?]

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Dec. 12 — A county judge approved a divorce for a lesbian couple who obtained a civil union in Vermont, saying he didn't realize he was signing a settlement for a same-sex couple, but ultimately decided to let his decision stand.

Iowa is one of 37 states whose law bans same-sex marriage.

State Sen. Neal Schuerer accused Judge Jeffrey Neary on Thursday of ''judicial activism at its worst.''
