“In some ways, our Tumblr feels a bit like ‘MinnPost after dark.’ We approach things with more humor or snark — within reason — and try to show the personality of the organization”

“But let’s be honest with ourselves, heterosexuals. We are playing a small supporting role in this freedom to marry movement. The real heroes are not the heteros. The real heroes are the people who had the courage to speak truth to power when it was difficult and dangerous: “We’re here, we’re queer, get over it.” That, much more than straight people’s belated courage, is at the core of what is changing America.”

- Joe Loveland, in The real heroes of the gay marriage debate (from Minnesota Blog Cabin)

If gay marriage bill passes Minnesota House, Senate will take it up Monday | MinnPost:

Minnesota state Senate leaders said that they plan to hold a floor debate and vote on the gay marriage bill Monday if the state House passes the measure today.

A vote on the bill is likely to be close in the House, although DFL state House leaders have said they wouldn’t bring it up for a floor vote unless they had the votes.

Some expected amendments — which would add some protection for churches and possibly include the words “civil marriage” in the proposed law’s wording — may bring some Republican yes votes.

DFL state Senate officials have indicated that they have enough votes to pass the measure, and the governor has said he’ll sign it if it gets to him.

The Mobile Shanty, a community fixture, leads the May Day way

This was the Parade’s 39^th year. Aztec dancers, crustpunks on tall bikes, old hippies, socialists and libertarians … all utterly and fully occupying the street and park, celebrating the arrival of warm weather together.
