Given the trend towards more support for Same-Sex Marriage in this country,
it is now or never. The vote in Maine was razor thin.

The Minnesota House approved a constitutional amendment to define marriage as solely between one man and one woman Saturday night, giving voters a chance to ratify the proposed amendment in 2012.

The Minnesota House voted 70 to 62 to pass the same sex marriage ban. The state’s Senate approved the proposed constitutional amendment by a 38 to 27 vote.

The Minnesota Constitution requires that a proposed amendment be approved by both chambers of the state’s legislature and then ratified by a majority of voters in a general election…

I live in Minnesota and I’m not sure what I should do.
I think that homosexuality is a sin, but I don’t think it is right to make laws based on Catholic morality, except for murder of course.

I dont think marriage should even be a government thing. Leave marriage to the churches.

Government marriage means nothing to me, it is what the Church does is whats important.
Thoughts?
