LOL whut?

I love this comment so much. This person is performing a FB exorcism. Outstanding.

PA needs to get on this. Gay marriage and pot. We're so blue we could do it. Philly would have to carry us, but we could do it.

Maybe my understanding of America is inaccurate, but I feel like Minnesota is far less progressive than California.  CA really shit the bed!  How did that even happen?  lol

(It's only a matter of time until all states recognize it; don't lose hope!)

[DaisyCakes]

Yeah Minnesota! I love my state!

[joshlyman]

So happy. Dude, the gay fever is spreading

Honestly if it were up for a vote today I think it would pass - unfortunately in 08 it was a constitutional amendment that stopped gay marriage, so Supreme Court for us it is!

Minnesota is kinda weird.  The Twin Cities is this hip liberal-ish bubble and then you go out state and it's.......different.

When we voted on whether or not to define marriage in the state constitution last fall most Twin Cities districts had big percentages voting no (saying no to changing the constitution.)  A lot of rural outstate districts voted hugely yes.  There were pockets of No areas that mostly were in college towns.  

Regardless, I'm FREAKING STOKED this happened today.  I SO wish I could be at the capitol tomorrow when Dayton signs the bill!!

That's how Pennsylvania is. Most counties are red. I think mine is 4% Dem. THANKS FOR OBAMA, PHILLY.

I wish FL would join in on this, but I am guessing it will be one of the last states to do so.

[curtains]

I'll jump on the PA wagon - Come on PA join the cool states!!

[Deleted]

Have faith other states! If MN can have a traditional marriage amendment on the ballot in November and then turn around and pass a marriage equality bill in May anything can happen!

Stupid TX will probably be one of the last. I kind of wish Austin were its own state.

I'm sure Philly is most progressive in the state (not that hard to do) but I can't tell you how many coworkers I used to like whom I've overheard calling Delaware and Jason Collins an "abomination." I was like, bitches, we are PA's ONLY HOPE OF LOGIC AND REASON. GET IT TOGETHER.

[julez]

I am very proud to be a Minnesotan today!

I'm also laughing inside that I'll bet this is NOT what the Republicans had in mind when they started all of this last year by putting the marriage ammendment on the ballot. BOOYAH!

Yes!  Just think how easily it could have been SUCH a different outcome right now!!

So.....what does Minnesotans United for All Families do now?  Let me guess....they'll push a bill through for me to be able to marry my dog. 

I just overheard a coworker talking about this (he just moved here from Virginia) and he is convinced people will show up and want to marry their toasters.

No, small kitchen appliances did not make the cut. Unfortunately.

Your lawnmower, though? Totally allowed.

[thedutchgirl]

I just saw that Minnesotans United announced it is starting a PAC to support those who voted yes. Good plan, I think.
