Prof. Carpenter Quoted in Pioneer Press on 1971 Same-Sex Marriage Case

Professor Dale Carpenter was quoted in a Pioneer Press article entitled "Gay Marriage Landmark? Minnesota Pastor Who Conducted 1971 Ceremony Thinks So," which details the country's arguably "first, same-sex couple to be married after having obtained a marriage license." Carpenter was quoted saying, "the legacy of their case hangs over the marriage amendment controversy. We're now facing an amendment to place in our constitution the very ban that they fought."
