Minnesota voters to decide on gay marriage ban

Minnesota voters to decide on gay marriage ban
Minnesota voters to decide on gay marriage ban. Voters in the US state of Minnesota will decide next year whether to place a constitutional ban on gay marriage.

Late on Saturday night, the state House voted to allow voters to decide the issue.

Minnesota already bans gay marriage but opponents argue that a constitutional amendment is needed to strengthen the ban and ward off challenges from gay rights campaigners.

In the 18-month run up to the vote, both sides are expected to spend millions of dollars on persuading voters to agree with them.
