Today the MN Senate voted to legalize Gay Marriage! And Gov. Mark Dayton has already said he will sign the measure into law. We will become the 12th state to make it legal!
I'm so happy for all the couples who will be able to apply for benefits that they deserve and need! And I'm happy that their union of love will be recognized as it should be, as a MARRIAGE!
I usually keep my blog light-hearted and vintagey. But this issue has always been important to me, and I'm so excited to see real progress being made!
I'll be back soon-
Erica :)
Slowly but surely, state, by state!!! Go Minnesota! Yay!!
ReplyDeleteErica I am proud of your state! I'm praying that soon it will legal everywhere as it should be!
ReplyDeleteRight there with you on this, Erica! So glad to find like minds out there.
ReplyDeleteHurray! So excited and very proud of MN! I cannot believe we have not been in the lead here in California on this, so mind boggling and frustrating.
Slowly but surely all the states are getting it together!
