Minnesota becomes 12th state to approve same sex marriage

Minnesota!

Gay couples will be permitted to wed in Minnesota starting in August, making it the 12th state to permit same-sex marriage and the first in the Midwest to take such a step outside of a court ruling.

The State Senate, controlled by Democrats, voted 37 to 30 on Monday to allow same-sex marriages, after approval by the State House last week. Gov. Mark Dayton, also a Democrat, had urged lawmakers to pass the measure and said he would sign the bill on Tuesday afternoon.

I know the day will come here in Wisconsin when equality for all our citizens is enshrined in our state’s constitution, because bigotry should not be enshrined in our state’s constitution.

  1. 52760 is an interesting number. 5×2=10×7=70×6=420×0=0. 5+2+7+6+0=20. 52760/2=26380, etc.
