How would your life change if same-sex marriage passes in Minnesota?

Same-sex couples who've been together for years will soon have the option of getting married if the Minnesota Senate, as expected, passes legislation Monday legalizing same-sex marriage and recognizing out-of-state marriages, writes MPR News reporter Rupa Shenoy.

Many Minnesota couples are trying to understand how their lives will change. One of those couples is Lisa Vecoli and Marjean Hoeft. Vecoli said it takes her breath away when she thinks about how her life may change fundamentally in a way she never expected within the space of one day.

"In some sense, all is forgiven at this point," Vecoli said. "I'm so proud of us for being the first state in the Midwest to do this by legislative action and not by court action."
