Why Civil Unions Aren't Good Enough
Representative Mike Freiberg (DFL-Golden Valley) outlines several of the many benefits same-sex couples are denied in Minnesota because they are not recognized as married. These rights would be denied to them even if they were in a "civil union."
Representative Barb Yarusso (DFL-Shoreview) talks about one benefit her parents got from being married veterans that same-sex couples right now would also be denied.
Their comments come during a debate on legalizing same-sex marriage in Minnesota. The House approved doing so 75-59. The Senate will vote on it Monday.Distributed by OneLoad.com
