Local Pols; Gay Ruling a Winner
La Crosse lawmakers are speaking out on the Supreme Court decision supporting gay marriage. Congressman Ron Kind calls the ruling a step forward for fairness and equality for same-sex couples. State Senator Jennifer Shilling says communities are strengthened when all couples have equal rights. Wisconsin’s ban on same-sex marriage, approved in a 2006 constitutional amendment, was overturned by a court ruling late last year.
