Marriage should be ONLY between 1 man and 1 woman - Minnesota says NO according to AP just now

So from what I'm hearing, that's a trifecta -- Maryland and Maine also voted similarly to allow gay marriage or at least not to close the door on it.

The purpose, beyond raising the bar, was to get the haters out to vote.
