pegkerrI am mighty proud of my state, which voted today for marriage equality. Starting August 1 (assuming the governor signs it into law tomorrow, as he says that he will), gay couples will start marrying in Minnesota.
Congratulations to all who worked so hard to make this day a reality.
I know there are many Minnesotans tonight, on the other hand, who are angry and afraid over what this change will bring. I trust that before too much time has passed, you will see and understand that nothing has happened that threatens you, and this was the right decision to make and direction to take.
Change is coming. Change is here. Change can be difficult for some. But as Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice."
