pioneer press ^ | 5-9-13 | doug and megan

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.

Dems doing what they do best — destroying marriage and civilization. In other news, unwed births hit 48 percent in America.

Great, now my lesbian cousin will have to move back to Michigan so she’s still got her source of perpetual outrage.

Everyone of those voting for it just threw another shovel full of dirt out of their hole that they are digging in hell. God is not going to ignore this garbage. America is now paying the price for ignoring God. We have a gay guy in the Pink House in D.C. as punishment. God is withdrawing His protective hand over this nation. America is under judgment and it is going to be nasty when the full hammer drops on Amerika.

Minnesota, the only state to vote against Reagan during a landslide victory.

Its all about the perpetual outrage with the militant lesbians. About a year back my cousin and her “wife” refused to accept a loan from a bank because the bank had no legal definition for gay marriage. The bank was willing to give them a joint loan but they threw a tantrum and walked away.

One has to wonder why gay marriage is getting the green light in so any Northern states lately. I guess the homo crowd is sucking up to and brown nosing them.

Since this state has gone over to the dark side; the only sane thing Minnesotans can do is leave it. A mass exodus is putting your money where your mouth is.

When an entire major political party goes sodomite, it send the signal that it's minions better get in line or face the gaystapo.

Another state pats itself on the back for its support of the sham of "gay marriage", turning marriage on its head.

Interesting that there is such a rush to legalize gay marriage. Assuming that the gay population is a small percentage, then this gains Democrats little political advantage as far as a direct benefit to their constituents.

I can only assume that this move is part of a long term plan to expand gay behavior among the population and destroy whatever independent thoughts that are instilled in children raised the traditional way.
