Minnesota Mayor Renames Landmark Bridge For Marriage Equality

You can call it the "Freedom to Marry Bridge" this week.

St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman did something pretty awesome for Minnesota this morning.

He changed the name of the city’s landmark Wabasha Street Freedom Bridge to the “Wabasha Street Freedom to Marry Bridge.”

The official order came in as the state Senate prepared to vote on making same sex marriage legal in the state, just days after the House voted to do so.

The mayor tweeted his news:
