Minnesota Republican who voted for gay marriage retires after party abandonment

Many people on here don't realize that state level marriage can also hinder adoption rights.

For example in Utah there is a law against non-married couples from adopting.

Utah tells judges to reject adoption petitions filed by same-sex couples

While most of us, including me, want to see marriage privatized eventually that doesn't deal with the here and now.

It is my belief that if there was a choice between adopting to a husband and wife vs. an unmarried person, or even a gay couple, all other things remaining the same, I would opt for the husband and wife. However, I do believe that a person should be able to choose who raises their child and if they choose someone other than a husband/wife to do it, the government should have no say in it.

I agree , but probably too late anyway, all of the population in MN is in the Twin Cities and that belongs to the communist party ......

I think the GOP still has a chance of winning at the state level. In nearby Wisconsin, Republicans control both houses of the legislature and the executive branch. Ditto in Michigan.
