Supports civil unions and equal rights for gay partners
In Minnesota, we have a provision that defines marriage as between a man a woman, and that's never been seriously challenged. I also believe we need to be fair to people and not discriminate against them. I don't have a problem with civil unions.
When a partner is in the hospital, they should be able to be there. And to inherit money from them, and have the same kinds of rights.
We don't need a constitutional amendment on this, and we certainly don't need an amendment that would ban people's equal rights. There have been some unforeseen consequences when these sorts of laws have passed.
