Minnesota to allow sex offenders in treatment program to marry

The announcement comes Monday in response to requests from three pairs of men in treatment at the state facility in Moose Lake who are seeking marriage licenses following the change in state law Aug. 1 that allows same sex couples to marry.

“We don’t intend to interfere with their right to marry one another,” said Deputy Commissioner Anne Barry, whose duties include overseeing the sex offender program.

The law change that has allowed same sex marriages in Minnesota has forced DHS to review its policies surrounding the sex offender program, which houses more than 600 offenders considered too risky and dangerous to live in the community. All but one of the offenders in the program are men.

In the past, some clients in the program have married women on the outside, but state law requires one member of a marrying couple to file the license application in person with the county recorder. That has been a sticking point for the three sex offender couples seeking to file their applications because they can’t get to the courthouse under current DHS policies.

And God help the bakery that refuses to do the wedding cake and the photographer who doesn’t want to take pictures of the happy occasion.

Minnesota gets exactly what they deserve. Look at the creeps and weirdos they put in office. They are the Sodom of America right next to Californicate! I’m a native ex-Minnesotan so I can say that!
