After three hours of noticeably civil debate and personal, sometimes emotional speeches, the Minnesota House passed a bill Thursday, May 9, that would make it legal for same-sex couples to marry.

The bill is scheduled for a vote Monday in the Senate, where leaders have said they have the votes to approve it. Gov. Mark Dayton has said he will sign it.

If approved, the law would make Minnesota the 12th state in the nation to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry. It would take effect Aug. 1.

The House vote was 75-59. All but two of the 73 Democrats voted in favor of the bill. They were joined by four Republicans.

Not all of us are pandering to the turd burglars.

RNC official compares homosexuality to alcoholism, says it leads to drugs

I wish we could get more conservatives and tea party types involved with the state conventions so we can put more solid conservatives on the RNC.

Like dominoes....

I have a friend whose lesbian sister and her “girlfriend” are exactly the same. Always looking for a reason to be offended, and God help the family member who doesn’t kowtow to their lifestyle.

[cripplecreek]

I’m nothing but syrupy sweet to my cousin and her “wife” and I make no secret of my opposition to gay marriage.

It enrages both of them.

Mmmmmm-—seems there were some ancient Twin Cities that got a little firestorm from above for similar shameless promotion of evil.

Minnesota is screwed...literally....

[luvie]

We have pretty here in Texas, too...just not West Texas where I live. LOL!

Well, the Davis and Guadalupe mountains are pretty in their way.

The national party officially went sodomite, so there is much less risk to otherwise resistant democrats to support the popular novelty in their own districts, even if unpopular there.

I think Palo Duro Canyon is every bit as pretty as the Grand Canyon.

[luvie]

Are they fat, plain and ugly with short ugly hair like all the lesbos I have encountered?

Why do they hate men and then try to look just like one? It’s a puzzlement!

[CatherineofAragon]

Love it

[luvie]

It sure is...just not as over-hyped! :)

We try to keep some of our pretty a secret to keep the weird people out. LOL!

[CatherineofAragon]

My friend’s sister is actually really pretty, but the girlfriend is butch.

It mystifies me, too. I’d love to hear one of them try to explain it.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Marriage for gays will work out like gays standing in the middle of a busy highway.

[luvie]

I would too.

I have always thought that the weirdest thing that could happen was that a butch lesbian would fall in love with a “poof” gay guy! LOL!

This is a farce. The 2012 election was a big fraud, in one of the most fraud-prone states in the nation (a la Al Franken). The marriage amendment referendum likely WON, but the election fraud covered it up. The sodomites wouldn’t allow another defeat after North Carolina; they knew that if the momentum of real marriage wasn’t broken, theirs would never get going. There was no way that they would let this one win; and all means were on the table.

Corruption of the highest order.

Take a look at Texas, a thriving economy. Just don't expect mild summers.

Their “perpetual outrage” is about the wounds, the abuse, the bonding problems, or just the struggle with the flesh they won’t deal with in the first place.

You can leave your snowshoes behind, too.
