(VIDEO) Dibble: Love Will Conquer Marriage Amendment

Sen. Scott Dibble said opponents of the amendment need to show the state that they're loving, committed families.

State Sen. Scott Dibble (DFL-Minneapolis) spoke in support of Gov. Mark Dayton's symbolic veto of the marriage amendment passed by the legislature, which would allow voters to amend the constitution in 2012 to define marriage as between one man and one woman.

"[It] sends a signal to young people who‘ve been so disheartened by the actions of our legislature, who’ve been sent such a negative message, a message of being marginalized, a message that our constitution is not for them," Dibble said. "Our governor is saying, 'That’s not the case.'"
