UNCASVILLE (MINNESOTA, STATI UNITI) – Margaret Miles e Cathy Ten Broeke sono le prime donne omosessuali che si sono sposate in Minnesota, il 12esimo stato Usa, il secondo del Midwest dopo l’Iowa che ha legalizzato i matrimoni gay.
Le due omosessuali hanno battuto sul tempo le altre decine di coppie che hanno voluto dirsi “Sì” nel primo giorno di entrata in vigore nello Stato della legge che permette le unioni tra persone dello stesso sesso.
