The senate is expected to vote on two bills that would redefine marriage (domestic partnership) to include two persons of the same sex.

  1. SF 1369 would require state and localgovernment to provide benefits to same-sex couples and redefines marriage (domestic partnership) to include persons of the same sex. (This bill may be buried in an omnibus "catch all" bill.)
  2. SF 960 would allow local government to provide benefits to same-sex couples.

Call your senator and askthemto oppose these bills and not tosupport any legislation which aims to incrementally achieve same-sex marriage!

Homosexual domestic partner benefits are marriage by another name.

Homosexual domestic partner benefits are unfair and discriminatory towards existing families.

It would provide homosexual partners of state and localgovernment employees special benefits and treat them better than married spouses.

Domestic partner benefits are part of an “incremental” strategy tolegalize homosexual marriage in Minnesota.

Domestic partner benefits would undermine Minnesota’s current marriage law.

Passing domestic partnership legislation is not an acceptable compromise to same-sex marriage advocates and will not end the debate.
