“The State of Minnesota is
about to write history. Becoming
the first Midwest state in the country to legislatively legalize the
freedom to marry for all committed couples is an event worth
celebrating. Today, we line the Freedom to Marry Bridge with pride flags
to show the importance of this legislation to the City of Saint Paul,
the families that live here, and to those who have been waiting for this
day for many years. Connie and I have been married for 24 years and it
is time all of our friends and neighbors have recognition for their love
from the state they call home.”
Saint Paul Mayor Chris Coleman, May 13, 2013.
Mayor Coleman issued a
proclamation proclaiming May 13 through May 17 “Freedom to
Marry Week” in the City of Saint Paul. Pride flags now line the Wabasha
Street Bridge, which has been temporarily named the “Freedom to Marry
Bridge.”
