Contact your legislators today and urge them to support SF925 in the Minnesota State Senate and HF1054 in the Minnesota State House! Floor votes may occur any time after April 20. The 2012 legislative session ends on or before May 20th. On February 28, 2013, legislation was introduced to change Minnesota state law and ensure that same-sex couples are no longer prohibited from having the freedom to marry. This historic and bipartisan legislation ensures that same-sex couples are treated equally under the law, and also protects important religious freedoms to ensure that no church, religious association or clergy member is ever forced to violate their deeply held religious convictions. Please Act!
