Bill To Permit Gay Marriages In Minnesota

A bill to allow gay marriages in Minnesota is now before the State Capital.

Sponsors of the bill aim to repeal by this summer Minnesota's 1997 law that prohibits marriage between couples of the same sex.

Minnesota voters rejected a constitutional gay marriage ban last November.

Gay marriage opponents say that result doesn't translate to widespread support for allowing same-sex couples to legally marry.
