Voters in Minnesota defeated a proposed constitutional amendment to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman on Tuesday, Minnesota Public Radio reports:
Amendment opponents burst into tears and cheered when they heard the outcome early Wednesday morning at the campaign party for Minnesotans United for All Families, the main group that fought against the amendment.
“This is truly a historic night,” campaign manager Richard Carlbom told the jubilant crowd. “Minnesota is now the first state in our country that has faced this question and said, ‘No.'”
