Hmong community group opposes both amendments in NovemberShare

The state's largest non-profit serving the Hmong community today announced its opposition to both proposed constitutional amendments on the November ballot: Voter ID and the marriage amendment. The board of the Hmong American Partnership said the photo ID requirement would erect barriers to voting, and the marriage amendment would hurt its communities and families. It also said 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. Hmong amendment supporters are also gearing up for the race. Sasha Aslanian reports.
