This subject is not hilarious for many people in this country enduring discrimination.
Let me review what is happening in Minnesota on gay marriage. It is currently against Minnesota statutes for a man to marry a man or a women to marry a women.
The Republicans in the Minnesota Legislature were swept to majorities in both chambers by the Tea Party tide in 2010. This was all while promising jobs, jobs, jobs. Instead , Minnesota votors got constitutional amendments on gay marriage and voter suppression.
The Minnesota Republicans voted last session to place for this year's election, a ballot question that, if passed, would permanently enshrine discrimination against gays and gay marriage in the Minnesota Constitution.
The polls have been relatively close. However, I believe Minnesota is progressive enough to potentially be the first state in the country to defeat this amendment.
One group working against this amendment from a religious perspective is

They recently produced a hilarious video speaking with gay marriage opponents at the Minnesota State Fair last week.
I love the interview style. The interviewees were treated with respect, but the questioner lets them trip over their own arguments.
The result is this video. It is worth watching all 11 minutes. I got a great chuckle. This is really well done.
