IA: One Iowa Holds Forum on Gay Marriage in Sioux City

Advocates for same-sex marriage urged local supporters to share their stories about the issue to counter political attempts to ban such marriages in Iowa. The encouragement came during a forum that statewide gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender advocacy group One Iowa held Tuesday in downtown Sioux City.
