OutFront Minnesota's justFair Lobby Day a
Huge Success!

Excerpts from people who met with their
lawmakers on lobby day

"As a student and a young adult, looking into the future, it is imperative that equality be made for everyone in this state and country. Your votes help reach that goal."
 
"Contrary to your stance, 'family' is not a narrowly defined institution between one man and one woman. Families come in a variety of colors, generations, sexualities, and genders. I would ask you to please carefully rethink what composes a family."
 
"Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with me early today. It is critical for GLBT youth and the youth of Minnesota to have accurate, effective, comprehensive sex education to help them make healthy choices!"
 
"We appreciate your talking openly as to why you voted against the domestic partnership and benefits legislation. However, know that we will now hold you accountable to work even harder for GLBT rights. As a heterosexual constituent, it is impossible to accept your anti-hate/anti-discrimination philosophy when you vote against a large portion of constituency. Work hard! Think smart! Do right by your people!"
 
"You said that you support civil unions and I hope that in the future, if you are still in office that you will vote in favor of civil unions."
