Saint Paul Domestic-Partner Registry Opens September 2nd

Saint Paul Domestic-Partner Registry Opens September 2nd!

From OutFront Minnesota.
Following a unanimous vote of the Saint Paul City Council on July 22nd creating the states third domestic-partner registry, and being signed that evening by Saint Paul Mayor Chris Coleman, the Saint Paul Domestic Partner Registry comes into effect on Wednesday, September 2nd.

Couples wishing to register with their community as domestic-partners may do so by obtaining forms from City Hall and paying a nominal fee. “While largely a symbolic move by the City, the fact that our states capital has joined Minneapolis and Duluth in doing what it can to promote fairness for same-sex couples represents another sign of progress toward full equality,” says OutFront Minnesota Legal Director Phil Duran.

If you plan to participate in the Saint Paul domestic-partner registry, and would be willing to speak publicly about your experience and why you chose to register, please contact OutFront Minnesota Public Policy Director Monica Meyer at mmeyer@outfront.org.
