I'll post more information if/when it becomes available.
Update:
The news release put out by Stonewall DFL and Entenza's campaign said Entenza has stood up for gay rights throughout his time as a state lawmaker:
Entenza has a long history of advocating for equal rights for all Minnesotans. Believing it's wrong for the government to allow some adults full rights as citizens and deny others those same rights, he co-authored the first Minnesota bill for marriage equality. He opposed a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. He supported domestic partner benefits for state employees and authored legislation to increase the penalties faced by those convicted of crimes based on sexual orientation.
Entenza has been endorsed by the Stonewall Caucus in every campaign he has run since 1994.
The news release said Stonewall DFL has 4,000 members.
