Marriage Amendment Forum Coming Oct. 23

Editor's Note: The following post is based on information from the city of Roseville's weekly newsletter updates:

The Human Rights Commissions from Roseville and Maplewood invite you to a free forum where the proposed constitutional Marriage amendments will be discussed. Both supporters and opponents of the amendment will present arguments for their positions.

Join us on Tuesday, October 23, for a discussion on the proposed marriage amendment and the future of marriage in Minnesota. We’ll discuss the function of marriage, public and social benefits of marriage, how marriage is different from a civil union, and whether marriage should only be between a man and a woman.

The presentation will be held from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at Maplewood Community Center, 2100 White Bear Ave, Maplewood.

Contact the Maplewood Human Rights Commission at 651-249-2000 or www.ci.maplewood.mn.us/index.aspx?nid=716 for further information or if you have questions about the forum.
