National group pumping more money into state marriage battle

“New York-based Freedom to Marry plans to pump cash into this year’s Minnesota legislative fight to legalize gay marriage. The national group, which donated more than $700,000 into the successful campaign to oppose last year’s constitutional ban on gay marriage, said on Thursday that it hoped to raise $2 million to spread amongst state’s debating marriage laws. It said it planned to spread $800,000 among five states, including Minnesota, to wage the fight,” reports the Star Tribune.
