Anti–Gay Marriage Lobby Hits Minnesota State Fair

Attendees to the Minnesota State Fair this year may pass marriage equality opponents en route to the annual deep-fried-food paradise.

MPR reports that the group Minnesota for Marriage has set up a booth at Church of Holy Childhood in St. Paul just blocks from the fair, while political parties on both sides of the issue are polling fairgoers inside the event.

Minnesota for Marriage is a coalition supported by groups including the National Organization for Marriage and the Minnesota Family Council, which recently claimed it had been harassed and intimated by a campaign finance complaint over anti-gay marriage ads it ran during the 2010 election cycle.
