Homosexual ‘Marriage’ Could be Forced Upon Minnesota Next Year

Action alert from the Minnesota Majority
Today the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) announced that Minnesota has become the next battleground state in its effort to defend marriage. In conjunction with its announcement, NOM has launched a new television advertisement campaign scheduled to air statewide in Minnesota. Some of the facts cited by NOM for its decision to come to Minnesota include:
- Six bills were introduced in the 2010 legislative session to force homosexual ‘marriage’ upon Minnesotans. Senator John Marty, a sponsor of one of the bills, says it is his goal to pass a gay marriage law by next year.
- In early May, six gay marriage activists filed a lawsuit challenging Minnesota’s marriage law, the same tactic used to impose gay marriage upon the people of Iowa and Massachusetts.
- Every major DFL and Independence Party candidate for governor has expressed support for homosexual ‘marriage’.
- While 31 other states have moved to protect marriage by amending their state constitutions, DFL lawmakers have repeatedly blocked attempts to allow the people of Minnesota to vote on the Marriage Protection Amendment.
NOM believes Minnesota voters should have the right to vote on the question of whether our state constitution should be amended to protect marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and we agree.
