Both sides on same-sex marriage rally at Minn. Capitol

Opposing sides in the same-sex marriage debate are holding dueling rallies at the Minnesota Capitol on Wednesday.

The National Organization for Marriage, a group opposing same-sex marriages, brings its national tour to the Capitol steps at noon.

Inside the Capitol, the gay rights group OutFront Minnesota will hold its own rally in support of same-sex marriage.

The fight over same-sex marriage rights recently shifted to the Minnesota courts when three same-sex couples sued to overturn the state's ban on same-sex marriage.
