BREAKING: Key vote puts Minnesota in line to become 1st Midwestern Legislature to pass gay marriage law. -SS
— The Associated Press (@AP) May 9, 2013
Today, the Minnesota House of Representatives voted in favor of the freedom to marry by a vote of 75-59! The bill will now be heard by the full Senate next week. The Senate is scheduled to vote on the marriage bill on Monday, May 13.
UPDATE: HA HA HA HA HA! Stupid haters!
Minnesota voters went to the polls last November and rejected a constitutional amendment that would have banned same-sex marriage, the first electorate in the nation to do so. In years past, Republicans placed anti-gay amendments on the ballot as a means of motivating their voters, but that tactic backfired in Minnesota in 2012. Not only was the Republican-backed amendment rejected 52.6% to 47.4%, but voters returned control of the state legislature to the DFL, Minnesota’s Democratic party.
Hoist with their own hatetard.
