Fair Wisconsin would like to congratulate our neighbors in St. Paul, Minnesota, for successfully enacting a domestic partner registry for the city!
Following a unanimous vote of the Saint Paul City Council on July 22nd creating Minnesota's third domestic-partner registry, and being signed that evening by Saint Paul Mayor Chris Coleman, the Saint Paul Domestic Partner Registry came into effect on September 2nd.
Couples wishing to register with their community as domestic-partners may do so by obtaining forms from City Hall and paying a nominal fee. "While largely a symbolic move by the City, the fact that our state's capital has joined Minneapolis and Duluth in doing what it can to promote fairness for same-sex couples represents another sign of progress toward full equality," says OutFront Minnesota Legal Director Phil Duran.
