How Would The Legalization of Gay Marriage Affect You?

What about your life would change if same-sex marriage became legal?

A bill that would legalize same-sex marriage is expected to head to the governor after a vote in the Senate on Monday.

DFLers hold a 39-28 majority, and Senate leaders predict that the bill will successfully move forward, Reuters reported. Before then, though, several legislators on the floor—from both sides of the debate—will likely offer personal anecdotes about what passage would mean to them.

That’s to be expected; the issue is, at its core, a personal one. It touches on our relationship to those we love the most, our relationship to society and our relationship to God.
