Sadly no, my state is also cool with gays being discriminated against for adoptions apparently

[Samus Aran]

No. Minnesota's bigwigs don't even really deal with it. They're pretty goddamn firm on the stance that marriage is between a man and a woman only. It's not exactly brought to court very often either. So little opposition to the legislature probably means we won't even consider legalizing it for quite some time.

By the way, a bill was just passed this year which calls for an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution which will strictly state that marriage is between a man and a woman only. It'll be voted on next year.

I mean it's not illegal, but they don't recognize it.

"No marriage licenses, no civil unions either - However certain limited rights in a domestic partnership are legally provided in Wisconsin and is recognised from other jurisdictions for same-sex couples."

No. Florida banned both marriage and civil unions at a constitutional level in 2008
