Earlier, I shared that Minnesotans have the ability to preview their ballot before election day. The ballot preview also links out to this page which shows exactly what Minnesotans will see on their ballots regarding the marriage amendment.

The amendment title reads:

AMENDMENT 1
RECOGNITION OF MARRIAGE SOLELY BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN

The amendment question reads:

Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to provide that only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Minnesota?

The following is what would be added to our state constitution if this mean-spirited amendment were to pass:

UNDERLINED TEXT IS WHAT IS PROPOSED TO BE ADDED TO THE MINNESOTA CONSTITUTION
Article XIII, Sec. 13. Only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Minnesota.

The state constitution is there to preserve and protect rights; let’s leave this ugly debate out of it.
