Gay Marriage
Gay marriage is illegal in the state of Minnesota. A constitutional amendment to further outlaw gay marriage was passed through the state legislature during the 2011 session, which will appear on the 2012 ballot for Minnesota voters and, if passed, will make it harder to repeal and make gay marriage legal in the state. Gay marriage is currently legal in Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, the District of Columbia, and most recently, New York.
