MPR’s Sasha Aslanian reports on the differing viewpoints of various Hmong community groups over the proposed constitutional amendment on marriage.

The board of the Hmong American Partnership says the marriage amendment would hurt its communities and families. It also stated passage of an amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman would shut off a conversation about gender and sexuality that's just beginning in the Hmong community. Shades of Yellow, an advocacy group for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, is also vocal in its stance against the amendment.

The Hmong American Alliance Church and members of Hmong Village Shopping Center are supporting passage of marriage amendment.
