The Minneapolis City Council voted unanimously on Friday to oppose a ballot amendment that would ban same-sex marriage. Mayor R.T. Rybak — who also serves as vice chairman of the DNC — will sign the measure, which encourages Minnesotans to vote “no” on the amendment in November.

“We took this step because it is critical that every person in Minneapolis can make a commitment to the person they love,” Rybak said in a statement.
