Minnesotans for Equality is a group of professionals with expertise in media, finance, legal, marketing and politics, whose main focus is to take a complementary media approach to the great work that's already been done in Minnesota.
In November, Minnesotans will vote on whether or not to change their state constitution to ban same-sex marriage. If the amendment passes, same-sex marriage will be much more difficult to ever achieve in Minnesota. If Minnesotans Vote No, it doesn't mean that same sex-marriage will become legal -- it just means that the constitution won't be amended to specifically ban it.
"The Minnesota constitution shouldn't be a tool to take away the rights of a group of Minnesotans," said committee founder Tracy Call. "This is an extreme attempt to take away the rights and freedoms of gay couples and promotes discrimination in a social climate where we should be endorsing love and respect. Not only is this proposed change Anti-American, it's Anti-Minnesotan."
