Take the OutFront
Minnesota Relationship Recognition Survey
What are your concerns about legal protections for same-sex
couples?
OutFront Minnesota invites members and friends of the GLBT
community to take part in an anonymous online survey of
attitudes and issues related to the legal recognition - or lack
thereof - of same-sex couples.
The survey, which will take 10-15 minutes to complete, asks you
about your perceptions of various aspects of marriage and other
forms of legal recognition as well as your priorities regarding
specific protections marriage provides. Your responses will help
inform OutFront Minnesota's public policy and education efforts
on issues of concern to same-sex couples and their families.
