Some Tolerance in "GASP" ~~ The MIDWEST

From the Sioux City Journal:

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- A federal judge Thursday struck down Nebraska's ban on gay marriage, saying the measure interferes not only with the rights of gay couples but also with foster parents, adopted children and people in a host of other living arrangements.

The constitutional amendment, known as Initiative 416, was put on the ballot by petition in 2000. It passed with 70 percent of the vote.
