April 3, 1979 - Almost a year has passed since one of the most divisive election campaigns in St. Paul’s history. The attempt to repeal gay rights in St. Paul at first became a part of, and then completely overshadowed, the city’s mayoral and city council elections. The repeal effort brought theologians, civil rights experts, lawyers, entertainment personalities and media from all over the country. When the ballots were counted the citizens of St. Paul had voted overwhelmingly against the right to affectional or sexual preference. The question of initiative or referendum status has come before the Minnesota Supreme Court.
