Minnesota’s marriage amendment battle: Power of ‘messaging’ may be the key

Beth Hawkins takes a comprehensive look at the messaging strategies for both sides of the marriage amendment. Fascinating read.

On the pro-equality, anti-amendment side, message testing is underway.

We’ve created two interactive tables: one of donations from marriage ban opponents, one of the supporter donations. 

You’ll see a huge discrepancy in the financial disclosure from the supporters of the ban. Read more about it here.

A lawsuit over Minnesota’s ban on same-sex marriage should not have been thrown out by a judge, the state Court of Appeals has ruled. The court sent the case back to the district court for further analysis of the constitutional issues.

Assuming the pro-equality side successfully plays defense and defeats the amendment in November, and depending on what the state house and senate look like after that election, pro-equality could possibly go on offense in 2012. This court case may have influence there.
