With the Minnesota House approving a bill by the count of 75-59, which would make it the 12th state to allow same-sex marriage, Republican Representative Peggy Scott said, "My heart breaks for Minnesota. It's a divisive issue that divides our state. It's not what we needed to be doing at this time. We want to come together for the state of Minnesota, we don't want to divide it."
Fellow Minnesotan and gay marriage opponent Julie Burt reacted to the vote with these words:
"I feel sorry for our world. But the world has turned. The world has turned to a place that wants immediate gratification. And it breaks my heart. Breaks my heart for my children and my grandchildren."
Yes, my heart also breaks for these heterosexual Minnesotans, whom have never had to deal with condemnation from Christians, Supreme Court hearings, robo calls, votes, muggings - violence or discrimination of any kind due to their orientation, like homosexuals have. My heart does break that their hearts break over people receiving equal rights in having their mutual love with a person be recognized through the ceremony known as marriage.
