I'm thankful that Minnesota made history with such a quick turnaround from a possible amendment that would close the door on the conversation about the possibility of equal marriage in Minnesota, to becoming the 12th state to approve same-sex marriage.
I'm proud of the work OutFront and Minnesotans United have done to encourage Minnesotans to talk about their values, and I'm thankful for the friend who, spur of the moment last fall, said she was phone banking and asked if I'd like to join her. I'm proud of this campaign, and I'm proud to have been able to dedicate some of my time to making it possible for some of my friends and many Minnesotans that I will never have the pleasure of meeting to marry their beloved.
I'm thankful that my home church, St. Luke has been on the forefront of accepting and rejoicing in the love that same-sex couple share, and that a beautiful couple of that community got to stand up with their two daughters and praise God that they could have a wedding this August!
Love has prevailed.
