The state Senate passed a bill Monday that will make Minnesota the 12th state in the nation to allow same-sex couples to marry.

Sen. Karin Housley (R-St. Mary's Point) voted against the bill.

The bill passed by 37-30 vote, and Gov. Mark Dayton announced a signing ceremony planned for 5 p.m. Tuesday, May 14.

Last week, Stillwater representatives — Rep. Kathy Lohmer (R-39B) and Bob Dettmer (R-39A) — both voted against the bill in the House.
