Prof. Carpenter and 1L Law Student Testify Against Minnesota Marriage Amendment

Professor Dale Carpenter and David Patton, a 1L at the Law School, testified before the Minnesota House Civil Law committee against a proposed state constitutional amendment limiting marriage to the "union of one man and one woman." Carpenter argued that the amendment would not help any families in Minnesota but would potentially harm thousands. Patton, raised by a same-sex couple, noted that his own family, including his unborn child, would be hurt by the amendment.
