Once again Minnesota proves itself worthy of having me live in it 😉
As we listened from Spain to the Minnesota Senate debate the marriage equality bill, many senators were quoting Hubert Humphrey’s 1948 speech in which he called for the Democratic Party “to walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights” and encouraging the state of Minnesota to take that step.
But I say, why not go for the really big money quote? “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
Hello Minnesota, meet justice.
The governor hasn’t signed the bill yet, but he will. Some day, the 38 laggard states will catch up. Until then, we can just be happy we live in the North Star State, guiding the way once again for middle America to follow.
We are incredibly happy for our friends, our children, ourselves.
