Minnesota senators approved a gay marriage law on Monday, making the Midwestern state the 12th in the union to allow same-sex couples to wed.
Gov. Mark Dayton is expected to sign the bill into law on Tuesday.
Just last week, Delaware lawmakers voted to allow gay marriage in the state. Rhode Island also passed a same-sex marriage law last month. Gay rights advocates point to California, Illinois, Oregon and New Jersey as the next states that might join the wave of gay marriage legalization.
More than 35 states ban same-sex marriage either through voter-passed amendments to their constitutions or laws. Public opinion has rapidly shifted on the issue, with a slight majority of Americans now saying they support it in polls.
