Marriage Bill in Minnesota

http://www.salon.com/2013/04/25/min...rsal_civil_unions_leave_marriage_to_churches/

Unbelievable. If this doesn't establish that civil unions are seperate but unequal,nothing will. In MN and elsewhere,people have fought tooth and nail against civil unions as well.
They only get offered when it's clear the votes would be there for gay marriage as a smokescreen to hide the fact that even if DOMA is struck down,civil unions won't be acknowledged by the Federal Government,only marriage.
I could be wrong..but it still sadly looks like the votes aren't there in Minnesota.
 
This bill won't get anywhere,as it would also effect straight couples as well. It's simply a smokescreen and nothing more. And I'm dispointed that people like Kim Norton are going along with it.
 
In the end, Norton will vote for the marriage bill. This is simply an attempt to distract from the issue and it isn't working for them. Today the legislature is poised to approve the budget, and an announcement of a vote will likely occur early next week.
 
It isn't working for them because it's obvious at this point it's clear civil unions are seperate but unequal and are only being offered as a way to stop marriage equality.
Be nice to see Illinois and Minnesota join Iowa in the Midwest.
 
Keeping the fingers crossed that what they say about not bringing the bill to the floor unless there were votes is true. Minnesota would make a huge statement.
 
Wishing for the best for all my homo friends in Minnesota.
 
We'll have to wait and see. Too bad Jockboy87 isn't here to give us the nitty gritty...
 
It passed 75-59,which means some brave Republicans voted yes for it. I really still think I'm dreaming.
 
PAssage is almost ensured in the Senate,Minnesota will have marriage equality.
 
The problem is after this..it does get a bit trickier. Any state that has Republican control will NOT allow gay marriage. If Section 3 of DOMA is struck down,I could see lawsuits based on that in states that have civil unions if the Federal government doesn't acknowledge them.
 
One more thing..I know the ruling has likely been made already but with MN close to legalizing gay marriage,I am sure Kennedy will give the 5-4 ruling on account of states rights,too many now not too.
 
This would be a sweet victory. Watch Bachmann be pushed back into the hole from which she crawled.
 
If it falls in the Senate,I'll be shocked,as its controlled by Democrats.
