Minnesota celebrated an amazing victory this week!
This huge victory comes just 6 months after we successfully voted NO to an amendment that would have permanently and constitutionally limited the freedom of gays and lesbians to ever marry in Minnesota.

Here we are only 6 months after shooting down that ridiculous amendment and our governor, Gov Mark Dayton, has signed the bill legalizing gay marriage.

A few friends were able to visit the state capitol this week. They graciously allowed me to use their photos here.

Both Michael and Pastor Kayla are HUGE HUGE advocates for gay rights. Bless them and everyone else who helped make dreams come true this week.

Minnesota just got a whole lot AWESOMER (yep, I know it's not a word)!
Let us be a role model.
Hooray. What a great post. Illinois is supposed to be voting soon. Hope I can write a similar post one day soon.
