Description
Minnesota has recognized the validity of same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions since July 1, 2013, and began issuing its own certificates on August 1, 2013. After 52.6% of state voters rejected a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage in November 2012, the Minnesota Legislature passed a same-sex marriage bill in May 2013, which Governor Mark Dayton signed on May 14, 2013. Minnesota is the second state in the Midwest, after Iowa, to legalize marriage between same-sex couples. It was the first state in the Midwest to do so via the legislative process.
This painting was created for my good friends Patrick and Erwin on their wedding day which took place 22 days after the state of Minnesota began issuing marriage certificates for same sex couples.
Let's hope that all states follow suit and allow equality for all LGBT couples in the near future.
