Minnesota becomes the twelfth state to affirm marriage equality when governor Mark Dayton signs and passes a bill allowing same-sex couples to marry. In 2012, Minnesota voters had rejected a proposed amendment to the state's constitution that would have limited marriage to heterosexual couples.
Made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on November 4, 2008. Administered by the Minnesota Historical Society.
