Same Sex Couple Heads to Court Over Death Certificate Dispute ...

Opening statements will begin this morning in Polk County Court for the Davenport same sex couple who was issued a death certificate for their still-born son with only one of their names on it.

Jenny and Jessica Buntemeyer are suing the Iowa Department of Public Health.? They want a new death certificate issued for their son with both of their names.

Lambda Legal, a national organization that works to achieve civil rights for the gay community, filed a law suit on behalf of the couple back in March.? They are calling the case a ?cruel display of insensitivity that disregards Iowa law.?

The same sex couple is legally married in Iowa and believes both of their names should appear on the certificate. ?We will bring continued coverage as this case develops.
