Prof. Carpenter Speaks on MPR on States' Laws Causing Complications for Same-Sex Couples

Professor Dale Carpenter spoke on Minnesota Public Radio on the possibility of some states' laws causing complications for same-sex couples. While Minnesota is the 12th state in the country to legalize same-sex marriage, Carpenter noted that life for couples who are married in states like Minnesota, but work or seek medical treatment in states that do not recognize same-sex marriage will be complicated. "There are already many lawsuits that have been filed that deal with some of these issues," Carpenter said. "I think we're going to see those sorts of things worked out in litigation over the next few years."
