Simpson hosts debate on marriage equality

Sept. 16, 2009

Simpson College will host a Constitution Day debate Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. in Great Hall. 

The debate will feature Brad Clark, director of policy and education at One Iowa, and John Stewart, a lawyer and founder of Rolling Stone Ministries.

Clark and Steward will discuss the legal, constitutional and political issues raised by the Iowa Supreme Court’s ruling last spring in Varnum v. Brien, which held that Iowa's ban on same-sex marriage violated the state's Constitutional equal protection clause.
