Join our conversation on the marriage amendment

In this space for the next few weeks, we'll be publishing opinions about the marriage amendment that Minnesotans will vote on Nov. 6. Our goal is a conversation that will prepare the way for a live debate on the amendment Thursday, Nov. 1, at the Fitzgerald Theater.

To join the conversation, scroll down to leave a comment or send a commentary to Eric Ringham. We begin today with commentaries from two of the leaders involved in Minnesota's marriage debate.
