Equal Rights for Marriage in Minnesota
In two historic votes, Minnesota's state legislature has recognized
Equal Rights for Minnesota's LGBTQ community to the Equal Rite of
Marriage.
Minnesota's Mennonites, Brethren and friends were on hand to lend support and celebrate.
The following photographs will be reincorporated into a proper blog
at a later time... but for now, it is important to celebrate!
